It will take Francis more than 5 weeks to have more money saved than Liza.
Liza has $41 in savings and begins spending $2 each week on collectible game cards. At the same time, Francis has $11 in savings and starts saving an additional $4 each week.
To find out how many weeks it will take for Francis to have more money saved than Liza, we can set up an equation. Let's represent the number of weeks as (w).
For Liza:
Savings after (w) weeks = (41 - 2w)
For Francis:
Savings after (w) weeks = (11 + 4w)
We want to find the number of weeks ((w)) when Francis's savings are greater than Liza's savings:
[11 + 4w > 41 - 2w]
Solving for (w):
[6w > 30]
[w > 5]
So, it will take Francis more than 5 weeks to have more money saved than Liza.
Complete question:
Liza has $41 in savings and begins spending $2 each week on collectible game cards. At the same time, Francis has $11 in savings and starts saving an additional $4 each week. Which is better?
