Ramona has $8.00 in her savings account and adds $1.00 each week. claire has $12.00 in her savings account and adds $3.00 each week. after how many weeks will claire's account have twice as much money as ramona's?

To find the answer, we have to set up an equation:

Let the weeks be x.

The amount Ramona has after x week:8+1(x)

The amount Claire has after x week:12+3(x) or 2[8+1(x)], as written in the question above.

12+3(x) = 2[8+1(x)]

12+3x = 16+2x

3x-2x = 16-12

x = 4

Therefore, the answer is 4 weeks.
