Question

Janice and Leonard together would like to save more than $3,500. They have saved $425 saved so far. Janice can save $120 more than twice what Leonard can save each month. How much money will they each need to save to reach their goal?

Answer 1

If you take the amount they need, $3,500 and subtract $425 which they already have, then subtract $120 that Janice will save more than Leonard, divide it, getting $1477.50 is what each needs to save. To check that take the $1477.50 X 2, plus 120 and 425 = $3.500
