Answer:

Kevin is going to be able to have enough money for the concert the fastest

Philip needs at least 4 weeks

Kevin needs at least 3 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Philip</u>

  • $8.75/hour * 6 hours/weekend * 1 weekend/week = $52.5/week
  • $45 saved

Let's call x to the number of weeks Philip needs to reach $225.

52.5*x + 45 = 225

52.5*x = 225 - 45

x = 180/52.5

x = 3.43

He needs at least 4 weeks

<u>Kevin</u>

  • 3 hours/day * $7.5/hour *3 days/week = $67.5/week
  • $30 saved

Let's call y to the number of weeks Kevin needs to reach $225.

67.5*y + 30 = 225

67.5*y = 225 - 30

y = 195/67.5

y = 2.9

He needs at least 3 weeks
