Abena wanted to buy a bag and had saved for eight consecutive weeks. She saved $2.00 im the first week,$4.00 in the second week,
$6.00 in the third week,$8.00 in the fourth week,and so on until the 8th week. How much did the bag cost if her entire savings at the end of the eighth week was spent on buying the bag?
Step-by-step explanation: We will follow the pattern of 2s, so 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 is how much she saved over the course of all 8 weeks. 2 plus 4 equals 6. 6 plus 8 equals 14. 10 plus 12 is 22. 14 plus 16 is 30. 6 plus 14 is 30 and 22 plus 36 is 58. Last of all, 58 plus 30 is 88
