To find out how much the students will earn in week 8, we first need to identify the pattern in their earnings over the first 6 weeks:

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

From this data, we can observe a repeating pattern:

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

The pattern cycles every 3 weeks: $110, $100, $90.

Now, to determine the amount earned in week 8:

  • Week 7: The pattern would be the same as week 1 ($110)
  • Week 8: The pattern would then mirror week 2 ($100)

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

So the answer is: 100.
