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 Elenore will have in total after saving for d days?

1 answer

To determine how much money Elenore will have in total after saving for \( d \) days, we start with the amount she already has and add her savings over those \( d \) days.

Elenore initially has $75, and she saves $7 per day. Therefore, after saving for \( d \) days, the total amount of money Elenore has can be represented by the following equation:

\[ \text{Total amount} = 75 + 7d \]

Where:

  • \( 75 \) is the initial amount of money Elenore has,
  • \( 7d \) is the total amount she saves after \( d \) days.

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

\[ \text{Total amount} = 75 + 7d \]
