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)

An illustration shows a number line labeled Maeve’s Earnings Each Weekend. The number line ranges from 0 to 2,000 in 500 unit increments. A closed point is plotted at 1,250. An arrow extends from that point to the right and goes beyond 2,000.

Answer: $140 each weekend
Step-by-step explanation:
$1250 - $130 = $1,120
$1,120 divided by 8 weekends = $140
Lionel is loading boxes of books into an elevator to move to the 35th floor of an office building. There are 10 boxes of books, and Lionel wants to make sure he is not exceeding the maximum weight of the elevator, which is 2,000 pounds. Lionel weighs 170 pounds. If each box of books weighs the same amount, how much can each box weigh? Solve this problem and then graph the solution on a number line.(1 point)

I apologize for the incorrect response before. You're right.
To find out how much Maeve needs to earn each weekend, we can subtract her current savings from her goal.
$1,250 - $130 = $1,120
Since Maeve plans to earn money each of the 8 weekends this summer, we can divide the total amount she needs to earn by the number of weekends.
$1,120 / 8 = $140
Therefore, Maeve needs to earn $140 each weekend to reach her goal of at least $1,250 by the end of the summer.
To find out how much Maeve needs to earn each weekend, we can subtract her current savings from her goal.
$1,250 - $130 = $1120
So Maeve needs to earn at least $1,120 each weekend.
On the number line, the closed point at $1,250 represents Maeve's goal of having at least $1,250 by the end of the summer. The arrow extending from that point to the right shows that she needs to earn more money beyond $1,250 in order to reach her goal.
To find out how much each box can weigh, we need to subtract Lionel's weight from the maximum weight of the elevator and then divide by the number of boxes.
Maximum weight of the elevator - Lionel's weight = Weight available for boxes
2000 pounds - 170 pounds = 1830 pounds
Weight available for boxes / Number of boxes = Weight of each box
1830 pounds / 10 boxes = 183 pounds
So each box can weigh up to 183 pounds.
On the number line, the closed point at 200 represents the maximum weight of the elevator, which is 2000 pounds. The line extending from that point to the right represents the weight available for boxes, which is 1830 pounds. The closed point at 183 represents the weight of each box, which is 183 pounds.
