Judy has $100 and Elenore has $75. Judy is saving $5 per day and Elenore is saving $7 per day

What equation represent how much money Judy will have in total after saving for d days?

What equation represents how much money Elenore will have in total after saving for d days?

What equation would be used to find out how many days it will take for Judy and Elenore to have the same amount of money saved?

After the number of days it took both to have the same amount of money saved, how much money do they have each?

1 answer

1) The equation that represents how much money Judy will have in total after saving for d days is:

Judy's total savings = $100 + ($5/day) * d

2) The equation that represents how much money Elenore will have in total after saving for d days is:

Elenore's total savings = $75 + ($7/day) * d

3) To find out how many days it will take for Judy and Elenore to have the same amount of money saved, we need to set their total savings equal to each other and solve for d:

$100 + ($5/day) * d = $75 + ($7/day) * d

4) After the number of days it took for both Judy and Elenore to have the same amount of money saved, their total savings would be:

Total savings = $100 + ($5/day) * d = $75 + ($7/day) * d

We would need the value of d from the previous equation to substitute into this equation to find the exact total savings for each person.
