Question
Use the image to answer the question.
A line graph shows time in weeks on the x-axis and total in dollars on the y-axis. The x-axis ranges from 0 to 8 in increments of 1. The y-axis ranges from 0 to 160 in increments of 20. A line starts at the origin and passes through plotted points left parenthesis 2 comma 50 right parenthesis; left parenthesis 3 comma 75 right parenthesis; and left parenthesis 4 comma 100 right parenthesis.
Miley is saving for a new pair of boots. They cost $150 . Every week, she puts $25 into her savings account. Based on the graph, state the number of weeks it will take for her to save enough money to buy the boots.
(1 point)
weeks
The line graph shows Miley's savings progress over time. Given that every point follows the same consistent saving pattern of $25 per week, we can calculate the number of weeks it will take for her to save enough to buy the boots.
So far, the graph indicates:
- At week 2, she saved $50
- At week 3, she saved $75
- At week 4, she saved $100
Since she saves $25 each week, after week 4, she will save:
- $125 by week 5 (because $100 + $25 = $125)
- $150 by week 6 (because $125 + $25 = $150)
Miley needs $150 for the boots, and she will reach this amount after 6 weeks of saving $25 weekly.
Therefore, it will take Miley 6 weeks to save enough money to buy the boots.
