Maeve currently has $130 and plans to earn more money each of the 8 weekends this summer. She wants at least $1,250 by the end of summer. How much does she need to earn each weekend? Assume she earns the same amount each weekend. Solve her problem, and then graph the solution on a number line
To find out how much Maeve needs to earn each weekend, subtract her current savings from the total amount she wants to have at the end of the summer: $1250 - $130 = $<<1250-130=1120>>1120.
Next, divide the total amount Maeve needs to earn by the number of weekends in the summer: $1120 รท 8 = $<<1120/8=140>>140.
Maeve needs to earn $140 each weekend.
To graph the solution on a number line, mark a point labeled $140.
