Answer 2

$2 more.

Explanation:

In this question, we have to find how much more money Victoria is saving.

We know that Jacob saved $174 in 3 months.

We also know that Victoria saved $360 in 6 months.

Lets find how much money they save per month:

Jacob:

174 ÷ 3 = 58

Victoria:

360 ÷ 6 = 60

Jacob is saving $58 per month and Victoria is saving $60 per month.

This means that Victoria is saving $2 more than Jacob per month.
