Ben had $100 in his saving account. He adds $5.00 a week to his saving in the graph shown below. According to the graph, how much money does Ben have in his savings account after 8 weeks?
I am not able to post a picture of the graph.
A. $40
B. $135
C. $140
D. $145
My answer is C would this be correct?
I would say C, because if you write the equation 100+(5.00*8) you get a product of 140.
Brooklyn, this time your answer is a good one -- you gave an explanation, not just the answer.

Hello Brooklyn,
I truly appreciate you checking on my math problem and letting me know that I got the correct answer.
To determine the amount of money Ben has in his savings account after 8 weeks, we can analyze the given information about the graph. Since you couldn't post the graph, we can approximate the calculations based on the given information.
If Ben adds $5.00 to his savings account every week, after 8 weeks, he would have added a total of 8 * $5.00 = $40.
If Ben started with $100 and added $40, then he would have $100 + $40 = $140 in his savings account after 8 weeks.
Therefore, based on this approximation, your answer of C. $140 would be correct.
