Tricia and Melanie are both saving money for their summer vacations. They both began saving at the same time. Tricia started with $10.25 and adds $5.15 to her savings every month. Melanie did not have a starting amount but adds $10.25 to her savings every month. Which equation could be used to determine how many months, m, it will take before Tricia and Melanie both have saved the same amount of money?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Approximately 2 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Tricia: f(d) = 5.15m + 10.25

Melanie: f(d) = 10.25m

f(d) is the total savings altogether

m is the amount of months

5.15(2) + 10.25 = 20.55

10.25(2) = 20.50

They will have the same amount of savings in approximately 2 months
