Money does Chittock possess= $ 212

Amount spent per week = $9

Amount possessed by Mr. Baker = $ 51

Amount saved by Baker = $ 14

Let after x weeks they have same amount.

A.T.Q

→212 - 9 x = 51 + 14 x

taking out like terms on side

→ 212 - 51=9 x + 14 x

→ 23 x = 161

Dividing sides by 23, we get

x=7,

So, number of weeks after Mr Chittock and Mr.Baker have same amount is 7.
