Question

Each week Quentin earns $30. If he saves this money, create a graph that shows the total amount of money Quentin has saved from week 1 through week 8. Write an equation that represents the relationship between the number of weeks that Quentin has saved his money, w, and the total amount of money in dollars that he has saved, s. Then, name the independent and dependent variables. Write a sentence that shows this relationship.

Answer 1

Answer: s = 30w

Explanation:

Quentin earns $30/week

w = weeks

s = saved money

s = 30w

s depends on w. Each week he adds $30 to his total amount, so to know how much money he has in the end of each week, we need to multiply 30 by the number of the week.

independent variable = w

dependent variable = s
