Victor and Susan each want to run for president of their school's student body council. In
order to do so, they must collect a certain number of signatures and get a nomination. So far,
Victor has 23 signatures, and Susan has 19. Victor is collecting signatures at an average rate
of 9 per day, whereas Susan is averaging 11 signatures every day. Assuming that their rate of
collection stays the same, eventually the two will have collected the same number of
signatures. How long will that take? How many signatures will they both have?
In
days, Victor and Susan will each have collected
signatures.
