Garland put 2b + 3 dollars in the bank in the first week. The following week he doubled the first week’s savings and put that amount in the bank. The next week he doubled what was in the bank and put that amount in the bank. If he now has $477 in the bank, how much did he put in the bank the first week

1st week deposit= 2b+3

2nd week deposit=2(2b+3)

3rd week deposit=4(2b+3)

Total deposit=2b+3+2(2b+3)+6(2b+3)

=9(2b+3)

=18b+27

18b+27=477

18b. =477-27=450

18b. =450

;

b=450/18=25

Therefore 2b+3=2(25)+3 =50+3=53

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)

the answer is a
