Given:
Amanda has $75 in her savings account while Julie has $30 in her savings account Amanda adds $5 per week into her allowance and Julie saves $14 per week.
Determine how much money will they have when they have the same amount of money.
Solution:
To do so we can equate first the value in a representation.
Amanda's money = 75 + 5x
Julie's money = 30 + 14x
In order to determine their amount of money, we must first equate them into one equation, and find for the number of weeks that their money will be the same.
75 + 5x = 30+ 14x
Transpose 5x and 30 to the opposite sides of the equation. It must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes.
75 - 30 = 14x - 5x
45 = 9x
Divide both sides by 9 in order to determine the value of x.
9x/9 = 45/9
x = 5
Amanda's money
= (75) + (5)(5)
= 75 + 25
= 100
Julie's money
= 30 + (14)(5)
= 30 + 70
= 100
Final answer:
Both of their money will become $100 in the 5th week.
