Answer 1

To represent the relationship between the weeks since Mitch's birthday and how much money he has left, we can create a table, a graph, and an equation.

Table:

Weeks since Mitch's Birthday | Money Mitch has Left

0 | $200

1 | $185

2 | $170

3 | $155

4 | $140

5 | $125

6 | $110

7 | $95

8 | $80

9 | $65

10 | $50

11 | $35

12 | $20

13 | $5

14 | $0

Let's assume "w" represents the number of weeks since Mitch's birthday, and "M" represents the amount of money he has left.

We can use the equation:

M = 200 - 15w

This equation states that the amount of money Mitch has left (M) is equal to the initial amount of money he received ($200) minus the weekly spending on comic books ($15) multiplied by the number of weeks since his birthday (w).

Using this equation, we can calculate how much money Mitch will have left after any given number of weeks.
