Question

Jane borrowed $ 200 from her parents to buy a video game system. She agreed to give them back $ 35 each week. Which equation represents the amount of money Jane still owes her parents, p, after w weeks? A.p = -35w + 200 B.p = 200w - 35 C.p = 35 (w - 200) D.p = 35w - 200

Answer 1

Since Jane will have initially $200, and she pays $35 each week, after w weeks she will have w times 35 less than 200, so the corresponding equation to this sentence is:

`p=-35w+200`

Therefore the correct option is A.
