To compare the amounts saved by Brody, Avery, and Khalil per week, we need to analyze their savings:

  1. Brody:

    • Starting amount = $27
    • Amount added per week = $20
    • Therefore, Brody saves $20 per week.
  2. Avery:

    • From the table provided, we can calculate how much Avery saves each week by finding the difference in total savings week by week:
      • From week 4 ($56) to week 8 ($76): $76 - $56 = $20
      • From week 8 ($76) to week 12 ($96): $96 - $76 = $20
      • From week 12 ($96) to week 16 ($116): $116 - $96 = $20
    • Therefore, Avery also saves $20 per week.
  3. Khalil:

    • Given the points (2, $69) and (4, $99), we can find Khalil's savings per week by calculating the change in total savings divided by the change in weeks:
      • Savings difference: $99 - $69 = $30
      • Weeks difference: 4 - 2 = 2
      • Therefore, Khalil saves $30 / 2 = $15 per week.

Now, to summarize the weekly savings:

  • Brody: $20 per week
  • Avery: $20 per week
  • Khalil: $15 per week

Sorting from least to greatest dollar amount saved per week:

  1. Khalil: $15
  2. Brody: $20
  3. Avery: $20

Final order: Khalil, Brody, Avery (Khalil < Brody = Avery).
