Math Problem Statement
Andre and Noah start tracking their savings at the same time. Andre starts with $15 and deposits $5 per week. Noah starts with $2.50 and deposits $7.50 per week.
Write the equation for Andre's savings.
Solution
To represent Andre's savings mathematically, we can create a linear equation.
Andre starts with an initial amount of $15, and he deposits an additional $5 per week. Let represent Andre's savings after weeks, where is the number of weeks. The equation is:
Where:
- is the initial amount.
- represents the total amount deposited after weeks, with being the deposit per week.
Would you like to compare this to Noah’s savings equation or solve related questions?
Here are some related questions:
- How much will Andre save after 10 weeks?
- After how many weeks will Andre save $100?
- What is the total amount Andre saves in 6 months (assuming 4 weeks per month)?
- Write Noah's savings equation and compare it to Andre's.
- How many weeks will it take for Andre to have more savings than Noah?
Tip: Visualizing the equations with a graph can help compare savings over time!
