Answer 1

227 + 24w

Explanation:

Initial amount in Ricky's account = $227

Weekly deposit made by Ricky = $24

In 1 week Ricky deposits $24

To get total weekly deposit value made by Ricky in w weeks.

we multiply both week and weekly deposit amount with w

In 1*w week Ricky deposits $24*w.

In w week Ricky deposits $24w.

Thus total amount Ricky has after w weeks is sum of

total weekly deposit value made by Ricky in w weeks(24w) and Initial amount in Ricky's account $227

Total amount Ricky has after w weeks = 227 + 24w.

Thus, required expression is 227 + 24w
