You currently have $40 saved up. You get $5 every

time you shovel the driveway. Your friend has no
money saved up and gets $10 every time she
shovels her driveway (hers is twice as big as
yours!) After how many driveways will you have
the same amount of money as your friend?

8 days because you start at 40, and get 5$ everyday so 5x8 is another 40 for a total of $80. And if your friend earns $10 each day, in 8 days she will also have $80.
