Please help i will give a medal. The table shows the amount of money in your bank account over a period of 5 weeks. You plan to keep saving at the same rate until you have $650 in the account. Which equation could you use to find the number of weeks, n, it would take to reach your goal? A) 35 . n = 650 B) 100 . n + 35 = 650 C) 6 . n + 100 = 650 D) 35 . n + 100 = 650
I know B is NOT correct
whats the starting amount in bank ( when n = 0 ) ?
to answer, look at the given table
$100
yes, so today you went to bank and deposited $100
yes
after "1" week you will go to bank and deposit "$35" more so that the total amount equals "$135"
It seems you had started with $100, and every week you're depositing $35 Right ?
yes
so, after "n" weeks, you will be having : 100 + 35n amount in your bank ! isn't it easy ?
so the equation thats useful in finding the number of weeks requred to have $650 in bank is : 100 + 35n = 650
so D is correct?
Yep!
