Can someone help me with this problem

Sonya has $595 in her savings account and she has to pay $45 each month to her parents
for her cell phone. Cameron has $55 and he saves $15 each month from his job walking
dogs for his neighbor. At this rate, when will Sonya and Cameron have the same amount of
money? How much will they each have?

Answer: They'll have the same amount of money in 9 months. They'll have $190

Explanation:

Make a chart showing each month, with how much they have. Every time you add a month, subtract 45 to Sonya's amount of add 15 to Cameron's amount. Eventually, you'll get that they will both have $190 in 9 months. Hope this helped!
