Question

due 7:59 am est. Faith is saving up to buy a new bicycle. She already has $40 and can save an additional $6 per week using money from her after school job. How much total money would Faith have after 8 weeks of saving? Also, write an expression that represents the amount of money Faith would have saved in w weeks.

Answer 1

$88 saved in 8 weeks

Explanation:

Part 1:

You would first set up the equation 40 + (6 x 8) = t. T would be the total money saved. You would then do 6 times 8 first, as they're in parenthesis. You would get 48. You now have 40 + 48 = t. You would now add like terms, and you would get 88 = t. You would save $88 in 8 weeks.

Part 2:

40 + 6w = t

w would represent the number of weeks, t would represent the total number of money saved.

Answer 2

After 8 weeks, Faith would have $88. money saved = 40+6w
