QuestionJim currently has \$1,250 in his bank account and Sally has$\$1,400$ in her bank account. Jim deposits $\$ 27.50$ per week and Sally deposits $\$ 20$ per week into her account. After how many weeks will they have the same amount of money?

Studdy Solution
Solve the equation for $w$.
First, subtract $20w$ from both sides: $$1250 + 7.50w = 1400$$
Next, subtract 1250 from both sides: $$7.50w = 150$$
Finally, divide both sides by 7.50: $$w = \frac{150}{7.50}$$ $$w = 20$$
Jim and Sally will have the same amount of money after $\boxed{20}$ weeks.
