Answer:

8 days

Explanation:

Let us represent the number of days as x

For Tina

Tina currently has $60 and is earning $4 a day dog walking.

= $60 + $4 × x

= 60 + 4x

For Tony

Tony has $68 and is spending 3$ a day on candy!

= $68 + $3 × x

= 68 + 3x

To calculate the number of days that they will both have the same amount of candy we equate both equations to each other

60 + 4x = 68 + 3x

Collect like terms

4x - 3x = 68 - 60

x = 8 days

Therefore, they will both have the same amount of candy in 8 days
