Question

Eric has $27.00 and wants to buy comic books. If each comic book costs $4.00, create a table and graph the arithmetic sequence to display how much money Eric has left after each comic book purchase. Which graph is an accurate representation of the problem?

Answer 1

To create the table and graph, we will subtract $4.00 from $27.00 after each comic book purchase.

Table:
| Comic Book Purchase | Amount Remaining |
|---------------------|-----------------|
| 0 | $27.00 |
| 1 | $23.00 |
| 2 | $19.00 |
| 3 | $15.00 |
| 4 | $11.00 |
| 5 | $7.00 |
| 6 | $3.00 |
| 7 | $0.00 |

The graph that is an accurate representation of this problem is a linear graph starting from $27.00 and going down by $4.00 after each comic book purchase until reaching $0.00.
