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.

An illustration shows a number line labeled Maeve’s Earnings This Summer. 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.

To solve this problem, we need to subtract Maeve's current amount of money from the desired amount of money she wants to have at the end of the summer.
$1,250 - $130 = $1,120
So, Maeve needs to earn $1,120 in total over the 8 weekends.
To find out how much she needs to earn each weekend, we divide the total amount by the number of weekends.
$1,120 ÷ 8 = $140
Therefore, Maeve needs to earn $140 each weekend.
On the number line, this can be shown by plotting a closed point at $140 and extending an arrow to the right to represent the possibility of earning more money beyond $140.
Answer: The solution is represented by the second image, which shows a number line labeled "Maeve's Earnings This Summer" ranging from 0 to 180 in 20 unit increments, with a closed point plotted at 140 and an arrow extending to the right beyond 180.
