To create a table displaying how much money Eric has left after each comic book purchase, we can first determine the amount he spends on each comic book and how that decreases his total amount of money. Each comic book costs $4.00, and he starts with $27.00.
Table of Money Remaining After Each Comic Book Purchase
| Number of Comic Books Purchased | Money Remaining ($) | |------------------------------|---------------------| | 0 | $27.00 | | 1 | $23.00 | | 2 | $19.00 | | 3 | $15.00 | | 4 | $11.00 |
Explanation:
- After buying 1 comic book, he spends $4.00, leaving him with $27.00 - $4.00 = $23.00.
- After buying 2 comic books, he spends an additional $4.00, leaving him with $23.00 - $4.00 = $19.00.
- This pattern continues, decreasing by $4.00 for each comic book he purchases.
Graph:
The graph should plot the number of comic books bought (x-axis) against the money remaining (y-axis).
The correct representation of this scenario will show a decrease in money remaining with an increase in the number of comic books purchased.
Therefore, the accurate choice from the options provided 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.
