Question

Henry is saving money for college. He earns $210 each week working part time after school and the weekends. Henry currently has $2,240 in savings. His parents put $100 in his savings account each week and he saves one-third of his paycheck each week. Which expression represents the situation? (n represents the number of weeks) A) 2,240 + 170n B) 2,240 + 310n C) 2,240 + 210n + 100n/ 3 D) 2,240 + 210n + 100n/ 3

Answer 1

2,240 + 210n + 100n/ 3 (C).

Explanation:

What he has in his account ($2,240) is added to what he makes each week ($210) multiplied by number of weeks (n), then added to the money his parents give him every week ($100) multiplied by the number of weeks (n) divided by one-third (⅓) of the money he saves from it.
