Question

Maeve currently has $130 and plans to earn more money each of, the 8 weekends this summer. She wants at least $1,
250,by the end of the summer. How much does she need to earni each weekend? Assume she earns the same amount each weekend.
Solve her problem, and then graph the solution on a number line.

Answer 1

To find out how much Maeve needs to earn each weekend, we need to subtract her current savings from the total amount she wants to save.

Total amount Maeve wants to save = $1,250

Amount Maeve currently has = $130

Amount Maeve needs to earn each weekend = Total amount - Amount currently have

Amount Maeve needs to earn each weekend = $1,250 - $130 = $1,120

Therefore, Maeve needs to earn $1,120 each weekend.

To graph the solution on a number line, we can represent the amount she needs to earn each weekend on the number line:

|---------$1,120--------|
