day one 25. day two 25 +17. day three 42 +17. day four 59 +17. day five 76 + 17. day six 93 +17. day seven 110 + 17. on day seven she would have $532.00. Day one =25 Day 2=42 Day3=59 Day four=76 Day five=93 Day six=110 day seven=127 add earnings for each day 25+42+59+76+93+110+127=532.
I don't know a shorter method. Hope that works

yes, on the 29th day she hit 501 which means she also hit 500 of course! um i just did it all out because i had nothing better to do...i'm not sure what the equation would be though! ...just tell your teacher you had trouble with that problem. well obviously none of us can figure out how to do it the real way! lol so it must be tricky for the other kids in your class, too...so don't sweat it!!

Well, isn't that she makes
$25 day one,
$42 day two,
$59 day three,
$76 day four,
$93 day five,
$110 day six,
$127 day seven.
Add all these and they come to $532????

you haev to do this:

this is what i came up with. On the 29th day she made $501. Which is $1 over. Although im not sure wat the $1.00 each part has to do with it, i believe it's just a diversion.
so on the 29th day, any other suggestion anyone?
~i really hope this helped....

maybe: 1x + 17y = 500
