alance of at least $500 in her account. How many withdrawals can Katie make during the summer and still maintain a $500 balance? If the solution were graphed on a number line, which number(s) would not fit the "context" of the problem?

Katies savings balance is 1625
she wants to have $500 balance. So we have $500 as our benchmark, then we deduct 500 from 1625
1625-500
1125/125
9
it means she can make 9 weekly withdrawals at the amount of $125
if we are to create a number line, then $500 will not fit the context of the problem
