Breanna works in the mall and her hours increase during busy shopping times of the year. Breanna has a plan to save $25 each week for 5 weeks, and then increase that amount by $20 for the next 7 weeks during the busy time, then go back to $25 per week. If Breanna’s plan is to save $540, how many weeks total will she need to save?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Find the total saved for the first 5 weeks.Then find the total saved for the next 7 weeks.Add the two amounts.Subtract that from the total desired....16 weeks
Answer 2
Answer: Savings in the first 5 weeks: $25 x 5 = $125
Savings in the next 7 weeks: $45 x 7 = $315
Savings in the next "x" weeks: $25 x "x" = $25x
Total savings: $125 + $315 + $25x = $540
440 + 25x = 540
25x = 540 - 440 = 100
x = 100/25 = 4
 Total weeks = 5 + 7 + x = 12 + 4 = 16 weeks.

Hope this helps :)

The answer is will be quaking because it is referring to future tense and it has not happened yet. Note that tomorrow is a fugue tense word

Tomorrow night when we take the ghost tour of the city, I will be quaking in my boots, hoping we don’t actually see anything too spooky!

Choose the sentence in which the prepositional phrase BEST modifies the verb driving.Driving down the street, I saw the cat.
Driving, I saw the cat down the street.
I saw the cat driving down the street.
While driving, I saw the cat down the street.

Answers

the preposition here is "down" - prepositions describe relations between things, and here down says that something was down the street.

The prepositional phrase is the phrase with down - down the street.

It modifies the verb in the first and third sentences.
1) I saw the cat driving down the street.
 3) I saw the cat driving down the street.

In both of the sentence the verb is in the form of present participle

I would choose sentence 1), as it's not ambiguous that the person is driving, not the cat
