Answer 2

Leroi’s account

$100
After first deposit = $100+$10=$110
After second deposit= $110 + $10 = $120


Sylvia’s account

$100
10% of $100 is $10
After first deposit = $100+ $10 = $110
10% of $110 = $11
After second deposit = $110 + $11 = $121

Therefore after their first deposit, both will have the same value in their accounts.
But after the second deposit, Sylvia will have 1$ more in her account than Leroi.
