Question

Jalissa received $1000 as a graduation gift. Jalissa decides to save that money and adds $25 per week. How much money will she have after 2 months?

(please help with forming the linear equation to help me solve the problem)

Answer 1

$1,000+25w= total
Since the starting amount is $1000 and it's $25 every WEEK, not month, we could estimate a month to be 4 weeks and double it for 2 months, so it's 8 weeks.
$1000+25(8)= 1200
Total money after 2 months is $1,200.
