Question

Christine is putting money into a savings account. She starts with $650 in the savings account, and each week she adds $60. Let S represent the total amount of money in the savings account (in dollars), and let W represent the number of weeks Christine has been adding money. Write an equation relating S to W. Then use this equation to find the total amount of money in the savings account after 11 weeks.

Answer 1

Total amount of money in the savings account after 11 weeks is $1310.

Total money in the account =

 Initial Money + Money added per week x Number of weeks

Given:

Initial Money = $650

Money added per week = $60

Total money in the account = S

Number of weeks = W

Substituting it in the above equation we get,

S = $650 + $60xW                                          (General Equation)

Total amount of money in the savings account after 11 weeks

S = $650 + $60x11

S = $650 + $660

S = $1310

Thus total amount of money in the savings account after 11 weeks is $1310.
