To calculate how much Julia and George will have saved after 5 weeks, we can use the following formulas:
- **Julia's savings**: \( \text{Savings} = \text{Weekly contribution} \times \text{Number of weeks} \)
- **George's savings**: \( \text{Savings} = \text{Weekly contribution} \times \text{Number of weeks} \)
1. **Julia's savings**:
- Weekly contribution: $30
- Number of weeks: 5
- Calculation: \( 30 \times 5 = 150 \)
- So, Julia will have $150 saved.
2. **George's savings**:
- Weekly contribution: $45
- Number of weeks: 5
- Calculation: \( 45 \times 5 = 225 \)
- So, George will have $225 saved.
Therefore, after 5 weeks:
- Julia: $150
- George: $225
The correct answer is **C: Julia $150, George $225**.
- **Julia's savings**: \( \text{Savings} = \text{Weekly contribution} \times \text{Number of weeks} \)

- So, George will have $225 saved.
Therefore, after 5 weeks:
- Julia: $150
- George: $225
The correct answer is **C: Julia $150, George $225**.
