Question

Jack and Jill collect coins. Jack has 56 coins, and Jill has 80 coins. Both recently joined a coin-collecting club. Jack's club will send him 12 new coins per month, and Jill's club will send her 8 new coins per month. After how many months will Jack and Jill have the same number of coins?

Answer 1

Answer:

So, after 6 months, they both have the same number of coins.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Jack has 56 coins

Jill has 80 coins

Jack collect 12 coins per month

Jill collect 8 coins per month

Let after m months, they both have the same coin.

56 + 12 m = 80 + 8 m

12 m - 8 m = 80  - 56

4 m = 24

m = 6

So, after 6 months, they both have the same number of coins.
