Question

Josie has $80. Addie has $60.

In how many months will they both have the same amount of money if Josie saves $30 per month and Addie saves $40?

Answer 1

So what you want to do is add 30 + 80 and 40 + 60 until you get the same amount so 30 + 80 = 110 and 40 + 60 = 100 so that is 1 month so now we add again so 30 + 110 is 140 and 100 + 40 =140 so that is 2 months so it would take 2 months for them to have the same amount of money.

Answer 2

The correct answer is in 

two months

because 

80 + 30 = 110 60 + 40 = 100

110 + 30 = 140  100 + 40 = 140

They both have $140!

Yo have your answer, 2 months

Glad I could help, and good luck!
