Answer:

Andre

Explanation:

This situation can be modeled with the equations:

A = 100 + 5w

E = 10 + 20w

Let w represent the number of weeks that have passed since they have started saving money. Andre(A) has saved $5 per week and Elena(E) has saved $20 per week. Substituting 4 into the equation (because 4 is the number of weeks that have passed so far) and evaluating we come to the realization that Andre still has more money than Elena because he now has $120 and Elena has $90.
