Question

Rileigh has saved $200 and spends $25 each week. Roy just started saving $15 per week. In how many weeks will Rileigh and Roy have the same amount of money saved?

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Create an equation where the savings are set equal to each other.

$200-25x=15x$

The left side of the equation is Rileigh's savings and the right side is Roy's.  Solve for x to find weeks.

x = 5
