Question

Jessica has saved $50. She will add $25 to her savings each week. Ron has saved $40 and will add $25 to his savings each week.

How much will each person have saved after 5 weeks?

Answer 1

Jessica- $175

Ron- $165

Explanation:

Jessica starts with $50 so put that aside and then it says that she adds $25 EVERY WEEK so how much is she going to have in 5 weeks? 5 x $25 is $125 and now add the $50 which will equal $175

In Ron is the same thing but rather than adding $50 add $40 and it will equal $165

Answer 2

Jessica will have saved $175, and Ron will have saved $165.

Explanation:

Jessica starts out with $50. She adds $25 each week, and it's asking how much money she would have in 5 weeks. So, you multiply $25 by 5 to get $125. Then, you add $50 to that to get $175. Same thing for Ron. Multiply $25 by 5 to get $125, but this time add $40 to it to get $165.
