| Weeks | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
|-------|----|----|----|----|
| Amount (dollars) | 112 | 124 | 136 | 148 |
How much money did Brittany open her account with, and how much money did she deposit each week?
A. Brittany opened the account with $12 and added $100 each week.
B. Brittany opened the account with $25 and added $50 each week.
C. Brittany opened the account with $100 and added $12 each week.
D. Brittany opened the account with $50 and added $25 each week.

Answer

Answer: C. Brittany opened the account with $100 and added $12 each week.

Explanation: The increase each week is $12 (124 - 112 = 12, 136 - 124 = 12, 148 - 136 = 12). Therefore, Brittany must have started with $100 (112 - 12 = 100).
