1 answer

To calculate how much Julia and George will have saved after 5 weeks, we can use the following formulas:

  • Julia's savings: \( \text{Savings} = \text{Weekly contribution} \times \text{Number of weeks} \)
  • George's savings: \( \text{Savings} = \text{Weekly contribution} \times \text{Number of weeks} \)

  1. Julia's savings:

    • Weekly contribution: $30
    • Number of weeks: 5
    • Calculation: \( 30 \times 5 = 150 \)
    • So, Julia will have $150 saved.

  2. George's savings:

    • Weekly contribution: $45
    • Number of weeks: 5
    • Calculation: \( 45 \times 5 = 225 \)
    • So, George will have $225 saved.

Therefore, after 5 weeks:

  • Julia: $150
  • George: $225

The correct answer is C: Julia $150, George $225.
