Eva

Step-by-step explanation:

If 4 dollar = 440 yen

Therefore, 1 dollar = (440 : 4) yen

1 dollar = 110 yen

As Eva is saving 52 dollars per week, and Ryu is saving 5,500 yen per week, we have to convert dollar into yen to find who has saved more.

1 dollar = 110 yen

52 dollar = (52 * 110) = 5720 yen

It means Eva is saving 52 dollar which is equivalent to 5,700 yens. It is more than Ryu's saving account.
