Marley currently has $130 and plans to earn more money each of the eight weekends this summer. She wants at least $1250 by the end of the summer. How much does she need to earn each weekend assume Sharon is the same amount each weekend, solve her problem, and then graph the solution on a number line.

Answer 1

Marley currently has $130 and wants to have at least $1250 by the end of the summer. She has 8 weekends to earn money.

To find out how much she needs to earn each weekend, we subtract her current savings from her goal savings: $1250 - $130 = $1120.

Next, we divide her goal savings by the number of weekends she has: $1120 ÷ 8 = $<<1120/8=140>>140.

Marley needs to earn $140 each weekend to reach her savings goal.

To graph the solution on a number line, we can represent Marley's current savings of $130 with one endpoint of the line segment and her goal savings of $1250 with the other endpoint. We can then place a point at $140, which represents how much she needs to earn each weekend.

Please note that it is not possible to graph the entire 8 weekends on a number line as it would require more space. However, we can represent one point on the number line to illustrate the solution.
