after the first week they will both put in 10 $, so they will have the same amount of money.

after the second week, Leroi will put in 10$,but Sylvia will put in 10% of what she already has there, 110 dollars, which means
(10)/(100)*110= (1)/(10)*110=(1)/(1)*11

So she will put in more money than Leroi: 11 dollars, and she has more money on the account!
