Question

A day and Ellis is saving 6 a day. After the amount of time found above how much will Jane and Ellis each have saved? A. 54 b. 66 c. 90 d. 102

Answer 1

To calculate how much Jane and Ellis will have saved, we need to determine the amount of time it will take for Jane and Ellis to save equal amounts.

Let x be the number of days it will take for Jane and Ellis to save equal amounts.

Jane saves 4 dollars a day, so the total amount Jane saves in x days is 4x.
Similarly, Ellis saves 6 dollars a day, so the total amount Ellis saves in x days is 6x.

Since we want the total amount saved by Jane and Ellis to be equal, we can set up the following equation:
4x = 6x

Solving for x:
4x = 6x
2x = 0
x = 0 days

Since it will take 0 days for Jane and Ellis to save equal amounts, they will both have saved $50 + $24 = $74.

Therefore, the answer is 74.
