Answer 1

To calculate how much Jefferson could save after 10 weeks by not buying a $3.50 cheeseburger every day, we can follow these steps:

1. **Calculate the daily cost of the cheeseburger:**
\[
\text{Daily Cost} = \$3.50
\]

2. **Calculate the number of days in 10 weeks:**
\[
\text{Number of Days} = 10 \, \text{weeks} \times 7 \, \text{days/week} = 70 \, \text{days}
\]

3. **Calculate the total savings by multiplying the daily cost by the number of days:**
\[
\text{Total Savings} = \text{Daily Cost} \times \text{Number of Days} = \$3.50 \times 70 = \$245
\]

Therefore, if Jefferson eliminates the cost of eating out, he would save **$245** after 10 weeks.

The correct response is:
**$245**
