A) Elisa
B) Frances
C) They made the same number of withdrawals
D) Cannot be determined from the given information

Answer 1

Elisa made a greater number of withdrawals.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine who made the greater number of withdrawals, we need to divide the total amount withdrawn by the amount withdrawn each time.

Elisa:

- Amount withdrawn: $180
- Amount withdrawn each time: $20

Number of withdrawals: 180 / 20 = 9 withdrawals

Frances:

- Amount withdrawn: $215
- Amount withdrawn each time: $43

Number of withdrawals: 215 / 43 = 5 withdrawals

Therefore, Elisa made a greater number of withdrawals.
