Write the equaition for the situation given

Question

Jayden was given a gift card with a balance of $250.00 on it and add $25.00 to the card each week. What is the total amount she has on the gift gard.

 

SLOP:___________      Y-INTERCEPT: (  ,  )

Answer 1

CARD, NOT GARD

SLOPE, NOT SLOP

EQUATION, NOT EQUAITION

 

y = 25w + 250 expresses the total after w weeks, in dollars, PROVIDED NO PURCHASES ARE MADE TO DECREASE THE EVER-GROWING VALUE.

 

This is a rather strange situation, one generally adds money into a savings account, but gift cards usually start at a fixed amount and decrease with successive purchases.
