Judy has $100 and Elenore has $75. Judy is saving $5 per day and Elenore is saving $7 per day.

What equation represents how much money Judy will have in total after saving for d days?

1 answer

To represent how much money Judy will have in total after saving for \( d \) days, we can create an equation based on her initial amount and the amount she saves each day.

Judy starts with $100 and saves $5 per day. Therefore, the total amount of money Judy will have after \( d \) days can be expressed with the following equation:

\[ \text{Total amount Judy has} = 100 + 5d \]

So, the equation representing how much money Judy will have in total after saving for \( d \) days is:

\[ T = 100 + 5d \]

where \( T \) is the total amount of money Judy has after \( d \) days.
