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?(1

Answer 1

The table representing the arithmetic sequence for Eric's money left after each comic book purchase would look like this:

| Comic Book Purchase | Money Left |
|--------------------|------------|
| 0 | $27.00 |
| 1 | $23.00 |
| 2 | $19.00 |
| 3 | $15.00 |
| 4 | $11.00 |
| 5 | $7.00 |
| 6 | $3.00 |
| 7 | $0.00 |

Graphically, the sequence would be represented by a line passing through the points (0, $27.00), (1, $23.00), (2, $19.00), (3, $15.00), (4, $11.00), (5, $7.00), (6, $3.00), (7, $0.00).

Graph 2 can be described as an accurate representation of the problem, as it shows a line gradually decreasing until it reaches $0.00.
