First, let's make an equation as to how to find how much money they have altogether:
(M stands for the # of month)
Jaclyn: 120 + 40m
Pedro: 180 + 20m
So let's plug-in 1 for m (1 will stand for 1 month)
Jaclyn: 120 + 40 * 1 = 160
Pedro: 180 + 20 * 1 = 200
I made a table depicting how much they'll make for the next 5 months (attached below). According to that, on month 3, they will have made the same amount of money (or $240).
So they will have the same amount of money in 3 months. Hope this helps! :)
So,
We can see that the digit 2 is 4 units to the right of the decimal point, so in order to write it in scientific notation, we will have to move the decimal point 4 places to the right to get 2.

Answer: the price of each apple is $2.25 and the price of each mango is $1.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the price of one apple.
Let y represent the price of one mango.
Cameron went into a grocery store and bought 4 apples and 7 mangos, costing a total of $17.75. This means that
4x + 7y = 17.75 - - - - - - - - - - - - 1
Gavin went into the same grocery store and bought 2 apples and 5 mangos, costing a total of $10.75. This means that
2x + 5y = 10.75 - - - - - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 1 and equation 2 by 2, it becomes
4x + 7y = 17.75
4x + 10y = 21.5
Subtracting, it becomes
- 3y = - 3.75
y = - 3.75/ - 3
y = 1.25
Substituting y = 1.25 into equation 2, it becomes
2x + 5 × 1.25 = 10.75
2x + 6.25 = 10.75
2x = 10.75 - 6.25 = 4.5
x = 4.5/2 = 2.25
