Question

Rafael is putting money into a savings account. He starts with $350 in the savings account, and each week he adds $60. Let S represent the total amount of money in the savings account (in dollars), and let W represent the number of weeks Rafael has been adding money. Write an equation relating S to W. Then use this equation to find the total amount of money in the savings account after 19 weeks.

Answer 1

$1490

Explanation:

Answer 2

Equation: S(W) = 60W + 350

After 19 weeks, total accumulated = S(19) = 1490

Explanation:

The interest rate is not indicated, so cannot take that into account.

Each week, he adds 60$, with initial value of 350$

So the equation is

S(W) = 60W + 350

for W = 19,

S = 60*19 + 350

S(19) = 1490
