Question

Landon is saving up to buy a new jacket. He already has $70 and can save an additional $7 per week using money from his after school job. How much total money would Landon have after 5 weeks of saving? Also, write an expression that represents the amount of money Landon would have saved in ww weeks.
Savings after 5 weeks:
Savings after ww weeks:

Answer 1

For this case we have to:

Let "w" be the variable that represents the number of savings weeks.

We have that Landon's initial amount is $ 70.

We want to know how much money you have after 5 weeks, knowing that you save $ 7 each week, so be "y" the amount of money after "W" weeks:

$y = 70 + 7w$

After 5 weeks:

$y = 70 + 7 (5)\\y = 70 + 35\\y = 105$

Answer$y = 70 + 7w\\y = 105$
