Answer 1

Answer:

Joseph will have 265 coins and Molly will have 275 coins after ten months.

Explanation:

Joseph already has 15 coins and adds 25 coins after each month. So after ten months the total number of coins Joseph will have is $15+25\times 10=265$ coins.

Molly already has 25 coins and adds 25 coins after each month. So after ten months the total number of coins Joseph will have is $25+25\times 10=275$ coins.

So, Joseph will have 265 coins and Molly will have 275 coins after ten months.
