Question

Write an equation based on the word problem below and solve it. *

You have $150 in your savings
account. You earn money to
walk your neighbor's dog every
day after school. If it takes you
8 weeks to have $246 in your
account, how much money, m,
do you earn per week?
m = $13 per week
m = $12 per week
Om = $11 per week
O m = $10 per week

Answer 1

m = $12 per week

Explanation:

The equation would be 8m + $150 = $246. To find out how much money you earn a week, you need to solve for m.

First, subtract $150 from both sides of the equation. Doing so will leave you with an equation of 8m = $96.

Next, divide both sides by 8. This will leave you with m = $12, which is your final answer of how much money you earn a week.
