Question

Peter opened his account with $710 and withdrew $35 per week. Maria opened her account with $570 and withdrew $25 weekly. How much money do each of them have at 14 weeks

Answer 1

Both would have $220

Explanation:

To find Peter's amount, we subtract 35 per week from his total. Since we are going to 14 weeks, we multiply 14 times 35 and subtract that from the original total.

$710 - $35(14)

$710 - $490 = $220

Do the same with Maria's amount

$570 - $25(14)

$570 - $350 = $220
