Krystal wage $10.30 per hour, money already $15.50 Desmond wage $10.30 per hour, money saved already $12

Answer 1

To keep track of their savings and earnings, we need to consider how much Krystal and Desmond are earning per hour and how much they already have saved.

### 1. Current Savings:
- **Krystal's savings**: $15.50
- **Desmond's savings**: $12.00

### 2. Earnings per hour:
- **Krystal's wage**: $10.30 per hour
- **Desmond's wage**: $10.30 per hour

### 3. Calculation of future savings:
If they work for a certain number of hours, we can calculate how much more they will save.

Let's say they work for \( h \) hours.

- **Krystal's total amount after \( h \) hours**:
\[
\text{Total savings} = 15.50 + (10.30 \times h)
\]

- **Desmond's total amount after \( h \) hours**:
\[
\text{Total savings} = 12.00 + (10.30 \times h)
\]

### Example:
If they work for 5 hours:
- **Krystal's earnings**:
\[
\text{Total savings} = 15.50 + (10.30 \times 5) = 15.50 + 51.50 = 67.00
\]

- **Desmond's earnings**:
\[
\text{Total savings} = 12.00 + (10.30 \times 5) = 12.00 + 51.50 = 63.50
\]

### Summary:
- After working 5 hours:
- **Krystal will have $67.00 saved.**
- **Desmond will have $63.50 saved.**
