To analyze the savings for both scenarios, let’s break them down:
-
First Scenario: Saving $100 in 5 months.
- If you save $100 in 5 months, in 15 months (which is 3 times longer), you would save: \[ 3 \times 100 = 300 \text{ dollars} \]
-
Second Scenario: Saving $110 in 5 months.
- If you save $110 in 5 months, in 15 months (again, 3 times longer), you would save: \[ 3 \times 110 = 330 \text{ dollars} \]
Effect of changing your savings from $100 to $110:
- If you change your savings from saving $100 in 5 months to saving $110 in 5 months, your total savings after 15 months would increase from $300 to $330.
Conclusion:
- By saving $110 instead of $100, your savings increase by $30 over the 15-month period.
