Accepted Solution

A:
so to solve this problem just add bruce's saved money ($150) to the $20 he saves each week. do the same with katie.
               bruce                            katie   
  week 1  150+20=170       week 1  200+10=210                    
week 2  170+20=190                              
week 3  190+20=210                        so in 3 weeks bruce will have the same                                                             number of money as katie in week 1
