Question

Erica has $5454 in her retirement account, and Joy has $5453 in hers. Erica is adding $19 per day, whereas Joy is contributing $20 per day. Eventually, the two accounts will contain the same amount. What balance will each account have? How long will that take?

Answer 1

$5473 and it will take 1 day.

Explanation:

You can add side by side until their the same answer.

`5454\\ + 19\\5473`
`5453\\+ 20\\5473`

As you can see they both have the same amount of money in their retirement account after one day and they have the same total of $5473.
