Wendy opens a bank account with money she has saved. After this initial deposit, Wendy then deposits the same amount of money each week. Using the table below, how much was her initial deposit? x y Week Balance in Dollars 1 76 2 92 3 108 4 124 A. $60 B. $76 C. $16 D. $50

Answer 1

If the table is:

x | y

------

1 | 76

------

2 | 92

---------

3 | 108

-----------

4 | 124

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Find the change inbetween each amount per week

92 - 76 = 16

108 - 92 = 16

etc.

This means that her initial deposit should be subtracting 16 from her first deposit.

76 is the amount first deposited

76 - 16 = 60

A) $60 should be your answer

hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Week     Balance in Dollars

1                76

2               92

3               108

4               124

Finding the change in between each amount per week

92 - 76 = 16

108 - 92 = 16

...

This means she deposited $16 each week

This means that her initial deposit can be calculated by subtracting 16 from her balance in first week

76 - 16 = 60

This means initial deposit in her account was:$60

Hence, Correct option is:

A. $60
