Answer 1

To determine the amount the students will earn in week 8, we first need to identify the pattern in the earnings.

From the data provided:

• Week 1: $110
• Week 2: $100
• Week 3: $90
• Week 4: $110
• Week 5: $100
• Week 6: $90

We can see that the earnings appear to follow a repeating pattern every 3 weeks:

• Weeks 1, 4: $110
• Weeks 2, 5: $100
• Weeks 3, 6: $90

Following this pattern, we can predict the earnings for weeks 7 and 8:

• Week 7 would correspond to Week 1 in the pattern, so the earnings should be $110.
• Week 8 would correspond to Week 2 in the pattern, so the earnings should be $100.

Thus, the students will earn $100 in week 8.

The answer is: $100.
