Answer 2

Answer:

14 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply divide 200 by 15, then round up because the answer should be a full week:

200 / 15 = 13.3333 ≈ 14 weeks

For an equation, let x be weeks passed and y be money left. Since the money is spent at a constant rate, the equation will have a constant slope, and the y intercept is 200, since at no money spent, Micah has $200:

y = -15x + 200

For a ratio table, it might look something like this:

weeks  :  money

0       :      $200

1        :      $185

2       :      $160

3       :      $145
