Maeve currently has $130 and plans to earn 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 than graph the solution on a number line
Maeve has 8 weekends to earn money. She wants to have at least $1,250 by the end of the summer.
Let's assume Maeve earns x amount of money each weekend.
In total, Maeve will earn 8x dollars over the 8 weekends.
To reach her goal of at least $1,250, Maeve needs to earn at least:
8x ≥ 1250
Dividing both sides of the equation by 8, we get:
x ≥ 1250/8
x ≥ 156.25
Therefore, Maeve needs to earn at least $156.25 each weekend to reach her goal of $1,250 by the end of the summer.
Graphing the solution on a number line:
