Answer:

Part A;

$79

Part B;

The amount Stella would have saved in 'w' weeks = 15 + 8·w

Explanation:

Part A

The amount of money Stella already has = $15

The amount she can save per week = $8

The total amount of money, 'A', Stella would have after 8 weeks is given as follows;

A = The amount Stella already has + The amount she can save per week × The number of weeks of savings

Therefore;

A = 15 + 8 × 8 = 79

The amount Stella would have after 8 weeks, A = $79

Part B

The expression that represents the amount of money Stella would have saved in w weeks is given as follows;

A = The initial amount Stella has + The amount she can save per week × w (number of weeks)

∴ A = 15 + 8·w.
