Question

Currently James has $600 in his bank account, while Lisa has $500 in hers.

Every Friday afternoon James withdraws $15. At the same time Lisa withdraws $12 knowing that she can't spend as much as James.

Will their account balances ever be equal? If they are ever equal, how many weeks will it take?

Answer 1

Their account balances will never be equal.

Explanation:

I basically ran the math. 500 minus 12 times anything from 1-40 cannot equal 600 minus 15 times anything from 1-40. When we come to 600 - (15*40) we get zero.
