Here is this weeks chocolate bar challenge!
Extravagant Ellie and Thrifty Tanya each have bank accounts. Ellie has $500 and Tanya has $200. Ellie withdraws $15 each weekend while Tanya deposits $12. At the end of 13 weeks, what is the difference in their bank accounts? Solve this algebraically. Can you find a week when there is only a $3 difference? Hint: It is before the 13th week.
First to post a comment with the correct working wins!

Ok I havnt completed it propelly so if the last Q is not a trick Q dont post it.
Ellie ends up with $305 which means there is a $195 difference.
Tanya ends up with $44 which means there is a $156 difference.
For the last question I took ages searching and thinking but I couldnt find a week before the 13th week that had a $3 difference!
