Question

Anna has saved $525 for a new flat-screen television. She plans to save an additional $50 per month. An equation that represents her total

savings as a function of the number of months she will save, m, is s(m) = 525 + 50m. Anna wishes to buy a flat-screen television that
costs $1,225, including tax. Which of these statements is true?

s(3) = 1725, so it will take Anna 3 months to save enough to buy the television.

s(14) = 1225, so it will take Anna 14 months to save enough to buy the television.

s(1225) = 61250, so it will take Anna 61,250 months to save enough to buy the
television
