To calculate how much Jane and Ellis will have saved, we need to determine the amount of time it will take for Jane and Ellis to save equal amounts.
Let x be the number of days it will take for Jane and Ellis to save equal amounts.
Jane saves 4 dollars a day, so the total amount Jane saves in x days is 4x.
Similarly, Ellis saves 6 dollars a day, so the total amount Ellis saves in x days is 6x.
Since we want the total amount saved by Jane and Ellis to be equal, we can set up the following equation:
4x = 6x
Solving for x:
4x = 6x
2x = 0
x = 0 days
Since it will take 0 days for Jane and Ellis to save equal amounts, they will both have saved $50 + $24 = $74.
Therefore, the answer is 74.
