Andre wants to save $40 to buy a gift for his dad. Andre's neighbor
will pay him weekly to mow the lawn, but Andre always gives a $2
donation to the food bank in weeks when he earns money. Andre
calculates that it will take him 5 weeks to earn the money for his
dad's gift. He draws a tape diagram to represent the situation.
Explain how the parts of the tape diagram represent the story.

10cm represents $10

2cm represents $2

10cm also represents 1week

For every week Andre checks 10cm, deduct 2cm which represents $2 donation for food bank, and remaining 8cm represents $8 left for his Dad's gift.

in 5weeks, which is 50cm, save $8 per week/ per 8cm = $8 × 5 = $40

in 5weeks, which is 50cm, he donate $2 per week/ per 2cm = $2 × 5= $10

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
