Money Problem

Question

Lisa is putting money into a savings account. She starts with
$550
in the savings account, and each week she adds
$30
.
Let
S
represent the total amount of money in the savings account (in dollars), and let
W
represent the number of weeks Lisa has been adding money. Write an equation relating
S
to
W
. Then use this equation to find the total amount of money in the savings account after
16
weeks.

Answer 1

S = 550 + 30W

 

S = 550 + 30(16)

S = 550 + 8736

S = 9066
