Henrik buys 40 collectible cards per month. kharif sells 20 cards from his collection of 180 each month. when will henrik have more cards than kharif? show your work.

Respuesta :

Answer:

In 3 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Henrik buys at 40 cards/month.

Kharif sells at 20 cards/month, from a starting collection of 180 cards.

At x months, Kharif will have 180-(20 cards/month)(x months)

At x months, Kenrik will have 0 + (40 cards/month)*x  {We must assume he starts with 0 cards, since no information is given.]

We want to know the nmonths until Both have the same number, so set their equations equal to each other:

180-(20 cards/month)(x months) = 0 + (40 cards/month)*x

180 =  x(40 cards/month + 20 cards/month)

180 =  x(60 cards/month)

x = 3 months

In 3 months, both will have 120 cards
