Answer: Yes, I agree. $10 will be withdrawn every Friday, resulting in the $100 she deposited being completely gone after 10 withdrawals.

Step-by-step explanation: You will want to find the amount of money being taken from the $100 withdrawal first. Turn the percent into a decimal, which should result to 0.10. Take this decimal and multiply it with 100 to get the amount of money being taken out of the account each week, which should be $10. I would go about answering this by multiplying the $10 by the amount of 10 withdrawals. This would result in 100. This answers the question because we are trying to see if 10 withdrawals will completely deplete the $100 in the account.
