Question 25
Alex says to Ben: “If I spend 24 dollars and you spend 18 dollars every day, on the day my savings run out you will still have 960 dollars left.”
Ben replies: “If I spend 24 dollars and you spend 18 dollars every day, on the day my savings run out you will have only 288 dollars left.”
How many dollars does Ben have saved?
Treat these as two separate scenarios, each starting with the same original savings and with no new money added.
Answer entry: enter the whole number only, without units. The paper uses four shaded digits with leading zeros; ordinary integer entry is accepted here.
