Jane is saving up to purchase her first bicycle The new bike costs $ 185Jane got $50 for her birthday and plans to put that towards the bicycle. To save the rest of the money, Jane plans to put asides an additional $15 per week until she has saved enough to purchase the bicycle. Write an equation that represents Jane's savings towards earning her bicycle. Use w to represent the number of weeks(1 point) 15w = 185; 15w - 50 = 185; 15w + 50 = 185; 50w + 15 = 185

Answer 1

To represent Jane's savings towards earning her bicycle, we need to account for the $50 she already has and the additional $15 she plans to save each week. The total amount she needs to save is $185.

We can set up the equation like this:

1. Start with the total cost of the bike: $185
2. Subtract the money she already has ($50): 185 - 50 = 135
3. The remainder ($135) will be saved by setting aside $15 each week, represented by \(15w\).

So, the equation becomes:

\[ 15w + 50 = 185 \]

Now we can see that the correct choice from the options provided is:

15w + 50 = 185.
