To find out how many days it will take for Judy and Elenore to have the same amount of money saved, we can set up an equation based on the information provided.
Let \( d \) represent the number of days.
-
Judy starts with $100 and saves $5 per day, so her total amount after \( d \) days is: \[ 100 + 5d \]
-
Elenore starts with $75 and saves $7 per day, so her total amount after \( d \) days is: \[ 75 + 7d \]
To find out when they will have the same amount of money, we set these two expressions equal to each other: \[ 100 + 5d = 75 + 7d \]
This is the equation you can use to find out how many days it will take for Judy and Elenore to have the same amount of money saved.
