Clint starts with $200 and spends $8 every week until he has $35. Which of the following equations represents this scenario? (1 point)

Question

Responses

200 - w = 35
200 - w = 35

200 - 8w
200 - 8w

200 - 8w = 35
200 - 8w = 35

8w = 35

Answer 1

To represent Clint's scenario, we need to account for his initial amount of money ($200) and the amount he spends each week ($8), and determine when his remaining money reaches $35.

We can set up the equation based on the information given:

• Clint starts with $200.
• He spends $8 each week (let’s denote the number of weeks as \( w \)).
• We want to find when his remaining balance is $35.

The equation that represents this situation is:

\[ 200 - 8w = 35 \]

This equation states that starting from $200 and spending $8 for each week (represented by \( w \)), he will have $35 remaining after a certain number of weeks.

So, the correct response is:

200 - 8w = 35
