Answer:

D

Explanation:

Amanda's unit rate would be

s=50m

while Mary's is

s=60m

60-50 is 10, meaning the answer would be D.

Mary saves $10 more than Amanda every month.

Hope this helps! :)

Hi there!

We can find an equation that models Amanda's savings using the equation:

y = km, where:

k = rise / run (Amount/months)

Plug in a set of values from the table:

k = 100/2 = 50

y = 50m

We know that Mary saves y = 60m dollars a month, so we can determine the correct comparison by plugging in a value of 1 month into both equations:

Amanda:

y = 50(1) = $50

Mary:

y = 60(1) = $60

The difference between Mary's and Amanda's savings is $60 - $50 = $10, so each month, Mary saves $10 more than Amanda.

The correct answer is D.
