A. Jane's total savings after d days can be represented by the equation: 100 + 5d
B. Ellis's total savings after d days can be represented by the equation: 75 + 7d
C. To find out how many days it will take for Jane and Ellis to have the same amount of money saved, set the two equations equal to each other: 100 + 5d = 75 + 7d
D. Solving the equation from part C, we find d = 12. After 12 days, Jane will have saved $160 (100 + 5*12) and Ellis will have saved $159 (75 + 7*12)
Jane has $100 and Ellis has $75. Jane is saving $5 per day and Ellis is saving $7 per day. (4 points)
A. What equation represents how much money Jane will have in total after saving for d
days?
B. What equation represents how much money Ellis will have in total after saving for d
days?
C. What equation would be used to find out how many days it will take for Jane and Ellis to
have the same amount of money saved?
D. After the amount of time found above, how much will Jane and Ellis each have saved?
