Paola Holt · Answer 1

96 (dollars)

Step-by-step explanation:

D represents the amount of money Andre has in his bank after w weeks. This formula is written as D (w) = 3w + 60 (dollars).

After 12 weeks, Andre will have accumulated D (12) = 3 (12) + 60 dollars, or

36 + 60 dollars, or 96 dollars. This is answer choice B.
