An illustration shows a number line labeled Maeve’s Earnings This Summer. The number line ranges from 0 to 180 in 20 unit increments. A closed point is plotted at 140. An arrow extends from that point to the right and goes beyond 180.

witch one I can only chose one

Answer 1

To find how much Maeve needs to earn each weekend, we start with the following information:

1. Maeve currently has $130.
2. She wants to have at least $1,250 by the end of the summer.
3. She has 8 weekends to earn money.

First, we can set up the equation:

Total needed = Current amount + Total earnings from weekends

So, we can break it down like this:

1,250 = 130 + (Earnings per weekend × 8)

Now, let's solve for the earnings per weekend:

1,250 - 130 = Earnings per weekend × 8

1,120 = Earnings per weekend × 8

Now, divide both sides by 8:

Earnings per weekend = 1,120 / 8 Earnings per weekend = 140

Therefore, Maeve needs to earn at least $140 each weekend.

Graphing the Solution

To graph her earnings on a number line:

• The number line should be labeled "Maeve's Earnings Each Weekend."
• It should show earnings starting from 0 to whatever the upper limit is (to match the problem).
• A closed point should be plotted at $140, and an arrow extending to the right beyond 140.

Given your options, the graph that fits this solution is the one labeled "Maeve's Earnings Each Weekend" showing a closed point at 140 with an arrow extending to the right. This represents that she can earn $140 or more each weekend.

Thus, you would choose the second option.
