Given that Betty saves $161 per month which is $141 less than Jack per month. find the amount that Jack will save in 2 years.
First, find how much Jack saves. We can do this buy adding 141 to 161 since Betty saves 141 less meaning we can reverse it by adding it.
141 + 161 = 302
Now, that we know how much Jack saves per month.
Then, we have to find out how many months are in 2 years.
We already know that there is 12 months in a year, so for 2 years, we can simply multiply by 2.
12 x 2 = 24
Therefore, there are 24 months in two years.
Lastly, multiply 24 months by the amount that Jack saves to get the amount in total.
24 x 302 = 7,248
Thus, Jack will save approximately $7,248 in 2 years.
Answer:
Jack will save $7248 in 2 years.
Step-by-step explanation:

Adding $141 to $161 let's us know how much Jack saves.
$141 + $161 = $302
Jack saves $302 each month.
There are 24 months in 2 years.
$302 × 24 = $7248.
