a. She will have a total of $94 in her account.

b. Johanna's total savings can be calculated using the following equation: S = 54 + 8w

c. It will take Johanna 14 weeks to reach $166 in her account.

a. How much will Johanna have in her account after 5 weeks?

After 5 weeks, Johanna will have added $8 x 5 = $40 to her account. Therefore, she will have a total of $54 + $40 = $94 in her account.

b. Write an equation that could be used to calculate Johanna's total savings (S) based on how many weeks (w) she has deposited money in the bank.

Johanna's total savings can be calculated using the following equation:

S = 54 + 8w

where:

S is the total savings in dollars

w is the number of weeks that have passed

This equation represents the fact that Johanna starts with $54 and adds $8 to her account each week.

c. Use your equation to determine how many weeks have passed when Johanna reaches $166 in her account.

We can set S = 166 in the equation and solve for w:

166 = 54 + 8w

Solving for w, we get:

w = (166 - 54) / 8 = 14

Therefore, it will take Johanna 14 weeks to reach $166 in her account.

The following question may be like this:

Where the math tutors???

c. use your equation to determine how many weeks have passed when Johanna reaches $166 in her account. ​
