Question

Morgan started the year with $615 in the bank and is saving $25 per week Kendall started with $975 and is spending $15 per week .when will they both have the same amount of money in the bank ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

You can represent Morgan's scenario with the expression, 25w + 615, and you can represent Kendall's scenario with the expression, 15w + 975. To find out when they both have the same amount of money in their accounts, you set them equal to each other and solve for w:

25w + 615 = 15w + 975

25w = 15w + 360

10w = 360

w = 36

Morgan and Kendall will have the same amount of money after 36 weeks.
