Jerry is saving money for a job. After the first 3 weeks he saved $135. Assuming the situation is proportional. Use the unit Rae to write an equation rearing the amount saved s to the number of weeks w worked. At this rate how much will Jeremiah have after 8 weeks?

Respuesta :

The equation would be s = 45w and she would have 360 in 8 weeks.

In order to find this, we first have to find the per week amount. To find this, we divide the amount by the number of weeks.

135/3 = 45

Now that we have this we can multiply that by the variable and set equal to the total amount.

s = 45w

Now to find the amount in 8 weeks, simply plug in the 8 to w.

s = 45w

s = 45(8)

s = 360
