Samara and Tony are saving money. Samara starts with $100 and saves $5 per week. Toby starts with $20 and saves $15 per week.

After how many weeks would they have the same amount of money?

Explanation-
Take the week as - x
We will try to equate the problem
100+5x = 20+15x
5x-15x = 100-20
-10x = 80
x = 80/10
x = 8
Answer = 8
