Question

Ramiro has $372 in his bank account, and he deposits $24 every week. Rodolfo has $180 in his bank account and he deposits $33.50 each week. For what value of X does the balance of Ramiro's account equal the balance of Rodolfo's account?

A. X = 6
B. X = 7
C. X = 8
D. X = 9

Answer 1

To find the value of X when the balance of Ramiro's account equals the balance of Rodolfo's account, we can set up an equation and solve for X.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of X when the balance of Ramiro's account equals the balance of Rodolfo's account, we can set up an equation:

372 + 24X = 180 + 33.50X

Simplifying the equation, we have:

24X - 33.50X = 180 - 372

-9.50X = -192

Dividing both sides of the equation by -9.50, we get:

X = -192 / -9.50

X ≈ 20.211

Since the given answer choices for X are all whole numbers, none of them match the calculated value. Therefore, the correct answer is None of the above.
