Question

Write an algebraic expression for the following scenario in terms of total money saved:

“you start with $400 and save $100 a week”

Answer 1

y = 100x + 400

Explanation:

What we know:

- You started with 400

- You get 100 a week

What we need to find out:

- The equation or rate to know how much money acquired in specific time

Step 1 ( of 1 ): Equation

- if you let y represent the total of money you acquire then the equations starts as

y=

- Then we know that we get 100 a week so let x represent the amount of weeks so

y = 100x

- Lastly we know that we started with 400 so then we just add that to the equation to make it

y = 100x + 400
