Gina has a $50 gift card to a bagel shop. Each Friday, she purchases breakfast for $6. She created a graph to represent the amount of money on her gift card each week. Does Gina’s graph represent the situation? Why or why not?
Yes, because she starts with $50 on her gift card.
Yes, because the amount of money that she spends increases each week.
No, because the amount of money on her gift card should decrease each week.
No, because the graph should start at the origin.
No, because the amount of money on her gift card should decrease each week.
Gina starts with $50 and spends $6 each week. Therefore, the value represented on her graph should show a decline each week as her balance decreases by $6. The graph should begin at $50 and go down, not up or remain constant.
