Answer:
D. Christy saved $3 per week more than Kevin.
Step-by-step explanation:
We already know how much Christy saves per week, because of the equation y = 26x. She saves $26 per week.
To find Kevin's per week savings, divide y by x. I'll do (6, 138) as an example.
138 / 6
What multiple of 60 is closest to 138 without going over. That's 120.
138 - 120 = 18
Now we know the constant (k) is greater than 20.
18 / 6
6 goes into 18 three times.
20 + 3 = $23 per week.
$23/week is less than $26/week, so to say Kevin earned more than Christy in one week is wrong. As a result, A and C are out.
Now subtract 23 from 26 to get a $3 per week difference, which is D.
