  1. Answer:
    D)  30w + 200
    Step-by-step explanation:
    Darnell started with $85 and saves $15 per week.
    His amount is 15w + 85
    Missy started with $85 + $30 = $115 and saves $15 per week.
    Her amount is 15w + 115
    The total saved by both is
    15w + 85 + 15w + 115 =
    = 30w + 200
