To find the number of weeks it takes Shannon to save $450, we need to calculate the total amount of money she saves each week. Initially, she saves $50, and then she adds an additional $8 each week.
Let's calculate the total amount saved each week:
Week 1: $50
Week 2: $50 + $8 = $58
Week 3: $58 + $8 = $66
Week 4: $66 + $8 = $74
(and so on)
We can see that each week, Shannon saves an additional $8 compared to the previous week.
To find the number of weeks it takes to save $450, we can set up an equation:
$50 + ($8 * n) = $450
Here, n represents the number of weeks.
Now, solve for n:
($8 * n) = $450 - $50
($8 * n) = $400
n = $400 / $8
n = 50
So, Shannon saves $450 in 50 weeks.
Therefore, the correct answer is C) 52 weeks.
