Carly received $50 every week for babysitting for her neighbors. She decides to save the money she receives to help pay for a camp she wants to attend next summer.

Question

Create a formula for Carly’s savings over time

Y = _

Answer 1

To create a formula for Carly's savings over time, we can define:

• \( Y \): the total amount of money Carly has saved after a certain number of weeks.
• \( x \): the number of weeks Carly babysits.

Since Carly receives $50 each week, the relationship between her savings and the number of weeks she babysits can be expressed as:

\[ Y = 50x \]

So, the complete formula for Carly's savings over time is:

\[ Y = 50x \]
