The table below represents the total number of laps Jessica swam in the pool this summer:



Week Laps
1 18
2 28
3 38

If the linear function representing the number of laps Jessica swam each week is f(w) = 10w + 8, what does the 10 represent in this function?

The week of the summer that Jessica swam

the number of laps Jessica swam in total
