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 start with the amount of money she currently has and then add the amount she saves over that period.

Judy starts with $100 and saves $5 per day. Therefore, after \( d \) days, she will have:

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

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

\[ T_J = 100 + 5d \]

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