Maeve Carly has $130 and plans to earn more money each of the eight 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 a problem and then graph the solution on a number line
To find out how much Maeve needs to earn each weekend, we can subtract the amount she already has from her goal: $1,250 - $130 = $1120.
Maeve needs to earn $1120 over the course of 8 weekends. We can find how much she needs to earn each weekend by dividing the total amount needed by the number of weekends: $1120 / 8 = $<<1120/8=140>>140.
Therefore, Maeve needs to earn $140 each weekend in order to reach her goal.
To graph the solution on a number line, we can mark the numbers 0, $130, and $1250 on the number line. Then, we can plot a point at $130 and draw an arrow to $1250 to represent the amount she needs to earn. Finally, we can divide the section between $130 and $1250 into 8 equal segments to represent the 8 weekends, and label each segment with $140.
