Maeve currently has $130 and plans to earn more money each of the 8 weekends this summer. She wants at least $1,250 by the end of the summer. How much does she need to earn each weekend? Assume she earns the same amount each weekend. Solve her problem, and then graph the solution on a number line.(1 point)

1.An illustration shows a number line labeled Maeve's Earnings Each Weekend. 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.

To determine how much Maeve needs to earn each weekend, we first start from the information given:

  • Maeve currently has $130.
  • She wants at least $1,250 by the end of summer.
  • There are 8 weekends in summer.

First, we need to find out how much more money she needs beyond the $130 she already has:

\[ 1,250 - 130 = 1,120 \]

Next, we divide the amount she needs by the number of weekends:

\[ \frac{1,120}{8} = 140 \]

This means Maeve needs to earn at least $140 each weekend to reach her goal of $1,250.

Now, let's summarize this: Maeve needs to earn at least $140 each weekend.

Next, we can represent this graphically on a number line. The appropriate option from the choices given corresponds to what we calculated:

  • The number line should display values that correctly illustrate her earnings per weekend (from 0 to an appropriate number beyond 140).
  • The closed point should be at 140, with an arrow extending to the right.

The correct answer is:

1. An illustration shows a number line labeled Maeve's Earnings Each Weekend. 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.
