James starts​ with no savings
Each week from now,
Theo will save £4.50 and James will save £4
In how many weeks will Theo and James have savings in the ratio 15:8?

Respuesta :

Answer:

6 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of weeks to be found.

Then  4.5x + 18 / 4x = 15/8

Cross multiply:

36x + 144 = 60x

24x = 144

x =  6  (answer).
