Answer 1

600 days

Explanation:

From the question, we are told to calculate:

The least number of days it will take each person to save the same amount of money. To solve this method, we use the Least Common Factor Method

The first step would be to list the multiples of 24, 30, 50.

Multiples of 24:

24, 48, 72, 96, 120, 144, 168, 192, 216, 240, 264, 288, 312, 336, 360, 384, 408, 432, 456, 480, 504, 528, 552, 576, 600, 624, 648

Multiples of 30:

30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300, 330, 360, 390, 420, 450, 480, 510, 540, 570, 600, 630, 660

Multiples of 50:

50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700

Therefore,

LCM(24, 30, 50) = 600

The least number of days it will take each person to save the same amount of money is 600 days.
