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 the 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.(1 point)

Image with alt text: An illustration shows a number line labeled Maeve's Earnings Each Weekend. The number line ranges from 0 to 180 in 20 unit increments. A closed point is plotted at 140. An arrow extends from that point to the right and goes beyond 180. Image with alt text: An illustration shows a number line labeled Maeve's Earnings. The number line ranges from 0 to 90 in 10 unit increments. A closed point is plotted at 10. An arrow extends from that point to the right and goes beyond 9.

To find out how much Maeve needs to earn each weekend, we can subtract her current savings from her target savings:
$1,250 - $130 = $1,120
Therefore, Maeve needs to earn $1,120 each weekend to reach her target savings by the end of the summer.
Graphically, we can represent this on a number line. Since Maeve plans to earn the same amount of money each weekend, we can plot points on the number line in increments of $1,120:
0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180
