Answer 1

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Week Balance in Dollars

1 76

2 92

3 108

4 124

Finding the change in between each amount per week

92 - 76 = 16

108 - 92 = 16

...

This means she deposited $16 each week

This means that her initial deposit can be calculated by subtracting 16 from her balance in first week

76 - 16 = 60

This means initial deposit in her account was:$60

Hence, Correct option is:

A. $60

Answer 2

If the table is:

x | y

------

1 | 76

------

2 | 92

---------

3 | 108

-----------

4 | 124

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Find the change inbetween each amount per week

92 - 76 = 16

108 - 92 = 16

etc.

This means that her initial deposit should be subtracting 16 from her first deposit.

76 is the amount first deposited

76 - 16 = 60

A) $60 should be your answer

hope this helps
