Based on the given data, Carlos can equate the relationship of S to W written as $750 + $40(W) = S where W represent the number of weeks Carlos has been adding money and S represent the total amount of money in the savings account. To find the total amount of money in the savings account after 11 week, substitute 11 as W in the equation $750 + $40(W) = S.
> $750 + $40(W) = S
> $750 + $40(11) = S
> $750 + $440 = S
> $1190= S
 Total amount of money after 11 weeks is $1190.
