To find the equation that matches Michele's scenario, we can start by establishing her current amount of money and how much she plans to save.
1. Michele starts with $50.
2. She plans to save $15 per week.
3. Her goal is to reach a total of $230.
Let's define \( x \) as the number of weeks she saves. The total amount of money she will have after \( x \) weeks can be represented by the equation:
\[
\text{Total Amount} = \text{Starting Amount} + \text{Amount Saved per Week} \times \text{Number of Weeks}
\]
This gives us:
\[
\text{Total Amount} = 50 + 15x
\]
We want this total amount to be equal to $230. Therefore, we can set up the equation:
\[
50 + 15x = 230
\]
This equation represents Michele's savings plan. If you have multiple response options, this is the equation to look for. If you need further assistance or options, please provide them!
