The number of weeks it will take both Sam and Marshall to have the same amount of savings in their accounts is 48 weeks

Given:

<em>Amount with Sam </em>= $2,500

<em>Additional savings each week</em> = $40

<em>Amount with Marshal</em> = $7,300

<em>Amount spent each week</em> = $60

let

x = <em>number of weeks</em>

<em>Sam equation:</em>

2500 + 40x

<em>Marshall's equation:</em>

7300 - 60x

Equate both

2500 + 40x = 7300 - 60x

<em>collect like terms</em>

2500 - 7300 = - 60x - 40x

-4800 = -100x

divide both sides by - 100

x = -4800 / -100

x = 48 weeks

Therefore, the number of weeks it will take both Sam and Marshall to have the same amount of savings in their accounts is 48 weeks

Molodets [167]
If there are 12 items adding up to 60%, we want to know how many items more it will take to equal 100% So set up this equation 12/x = .6 then solve for x. x=12/.6 x = 20 now that we know the total you can subtract 12 from 20 and get 8, that is the number of items left on the list.
