Eric has $27.00 and wants to buy comic books. If each comic book costs $4.00, create a table and graph the arithmetic sequence to display how much money Eric has left after each comic book purchase. Which graph is an accurate representation of the problem?(1 point)
Responses

Four points showing a decrease in money remaining with an increase in number of comic books are plotted on a coordinate plane. The y-axis is labeled money remaining. The x-axis is labeled number of comic books.

Answer 1

To represent Eric's purchases of comic books as an arithmetic sequence, we can create a simple table that shows how much money he has left after buying each comic book.

Eric starts with $27.00, and each comic book costs $4.00. The sequence can be represented as follows:

| Number of Comic Books | Money Remaining ($) |
|-----------------------|---------------------|
| 0 | 27.00 |
| 1 | 23.00 |
| 2 | 19.00 |
| 3 | 15.00 |
| 4 | 11.00 |
| 5 | 7.00 |
| 6 | 3.00 |
| 7 | -1.00 |

**Graph Description:**
- The y-axis is labeled "Money Remaining."
- The x-axis is labeled "Number of Comic Books."
- The points plotted would show a decrease in money remaining as the number of comic books increases.

Based on the provided options and the table created, the correct response should include four points showing a decrease in money remaining with an increase in the number of comic books plotted on a coordinate plane.

Therefore, the accurate representation of the problem is:

"Four points showing a decrease in money remaining with an increase in number of comic books are plotted on a coordinate plane. The y-axis is labeled money remaining. The x-axis is labeled number of comic books."
