X: represents how many weeks
N: represents books per week
B: <span>represents </span>books she has at anytime

So the recursive formula would be: 100 - XN = B

Answer: $100-wn$ , where w is the number of weeks (natural number) .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Ashley has 100 books that she wants to give away at the rate of n books per week.

Let 'w' be the number of weeks .

Then after first week w=1,

The number of books Ashley has after first week = $100-n$

[Since she wants to give away at the rate of n books per week.]

Then after second week w=2,

The number of books Ashley has after second week = $100-n-n=100-2n$

Then after third week w=3,

The number of books Ashley has after third week = $100-2n-n=100-3n$

Similarly for w weeks, the number of books Ashley has after w weeks = $100-wn$

Hence, the recursive function that gives the number of books Ashley has at any time is $100-wn$ , where w is the number of weeks.
