Question

Zypel and Joshua are both saving money. Zypel starts with $600 and is saving $125 per week. Joshua starts

with $1,100 and is saving $50 per week. Write an equation that could be used to determine who will have
saved more money in 4 months.
*There are 4 weeks per month.

Answer 1

Answer: The equations are A= 600 + 125w and A = 1100 + 50w. Look into the steps for more information.

Explanation:

Zypel's situation can be represented by the equation, A= 600 + 125w where A is the amount of money she will have after w weeks.

The same way we can represent Joshua's situation by the equation

A = 1100 + 50w where a is also the amount of money he will save after w weeks.

It says that there are 4 weeks in one month which means there will be 16 weeks in 4 months.

Now input 16 into the equations for w and solve for A.

A = 600 + 125(16)

A= 600 + 2000

A = 2600

So Zypel will save $2600 in a 4 months

A = 1100 + 50(16)

A= 1100 +800

A= 1900

So Zypel will save more than Joshua in four months.
