Answer 1

To find out how much Maeve needs to earn each weekend, let's start with the information given:

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

First, we need to calculate how much more money she needs to earn to reach her goal:

\[ \text{Amount needed} = \text{Goal} - \text{Current amount} = 1250 - 130 = 1120 \]

Next, we know she plans to earn this amount over 8 weekends. Therefore, we calculate the amount she needs to earn each weekend:

\[ \text{Earnings per weekend} = \frac{\text{Amount needed}}{\text{Number of weekends}} = \frac{1120}{8} = 140 \]

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

Graphing the Solution:

On the number line for "Maeve's Earnings Each Weekend," you would mark a closed point at 140, with an arrow extending to the right beyond 180 to represent that she can earn any amount greater than or equal to 140.

The correct illustration that matches this solution is:
