The students at Vienna Elementary sold donuts everyday at school for 6 months. The table below shows the earnings for the first 6 weeks. If the pattern continues, how long will it take the students to earn more than $1,000 total? Week Number Amount Earned 1 $110 2 $100 3 $90 4 $110 5 $100 6 $90 (1 point) Responses 6 weeks 6 weeks 8 weeks 8 weeks 9 weeks 9 weeks 10 weeks
To find out how long it will take the students to earn more than $1,000 total, add up the earnings for the first 6 weeks:
$110 + $100 + $90 + $110 + $100 + $90 = $600
The students have earned $600 in 6 weeks.
To earn more than $1,000, they need to earn an additional $400.
Since they earn $600 every 6 weeks, they will need an additional 4 weeks to earn $400.
Therefore, it will take the students 6 + 4 = 10 weeks to earn more than $1,000 in total.
The correct response is 10 weeks.
