A)You and your friend will have the same amount of money in your accounts after five weeks. B) After five weeks, you will each have $65 in your accounts. You will have $5 more than your friend. This is because you have a total of $55 to start with, save $10 each week, and your friend has a total of $20 to start with and saves $15 each week. Therefore, your friend is saving more of her money each week, so it takes her less time to reach the same total amount.
