Maeve needs to earn a minimum of $1,250 by the end of the summer. She currently has $130, so she needs to earn an additional $1,250 - $130 = $1120.
Since there are 8 weekends in the summer, Maeve needs to earn $1120 ÷ 8 = $140 each weekend to reach her goal.
On the number line, we can plot Maeve's earnings each weekend at $140, represented by a closed point at 140. The arrow extends to the right to show that she needs to earn more money beyond the 8 weekends to reach her goal of at least $1,250.
On the second number line representing Maeve’s earnings this summer, the closed point at 140 shows how much she has earned so far, and the arrow extends to the right to represent that she needs to earn more money beyond her current earnings to reach her goal.
