Jaclyn has $120 saved and earns $40 each month in allowance. Pedro has $180 saved and earns $20 a month in allowance. If they both save their entire allowances, how long will it take before Jaclyn and Pedro have saved the same amount of money?
Enter your answer in the box.

3 months

Step-by-step explanation: Let after m months they saved same amount of money.

Given,

Saving of Jaclyn = $ 120,

Amount earned by him/her per month = $ 40,

So, the total amount contained by him/her in m months = Saving + earning for m months

= 120 + 40m,

Similarly, saving of Pedro = $ 180,

Amount earned by him/her per month = $ 20,

So, the total amount contained by him/her in m months = 180 + 20m

Thus, we can write,

120 + 40m = 180 + 20m

40m = 180 + 20m - 120

40m - 20m = 60

20m = 60

⇒ m =  = 3.

Hence, it will take 3 months before which Jaclyn and Pedro have saved the same amount of money.

step-by-step explanation:

i'm pretty sure it would take 20 hours because it's half the men so you multiply the number of hours it takes by 2
