3 weeks and $40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number or weeks taken for them to have same amount be represented by x.

The information given in the question can be presented as an equation as:

Stephanie = 25 + 5x

Jose = 16 + 8x

We then equate them together

25 + 5x = 16 + 8x

25 - 16 = 8x - 5x

3x = 9

x = 9/3 = 3

The number of weeks is 3

The amount of money that they'll have will be:

= 25 + 5x

= 25 + 5(3)

= 25 + 15 = $40
