Answer 1

The expression shows the number of dollars he will have saved by the end of the year is given by 35(7)+40(5)=\$44535(7)+40(5)=$445

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount he saved per month over the first 7 months = $35

Amount he saved per month over the next 5 months = $40

So, total saving by the end of the year is given by

\begin{gathered}35\times 7+40\times 5\\\\=\$245+\$200\\\\=\$445\end{gathered}

35×7+40×5

=$245+$200

=$445

Hence, the expression shows the number of dollars he will have saved by the end of the year is given by

35(7)+40(5)=\$44535(7)+40(5)=$445
