Leroi and sylvia both put 100 in a savings account.

=> Leroi decides he will put in additional 10$ each week.

=> Sylvia decides to put in additional 10% of the amount in the account each week.

Now, who has more money after the first additional deposit?

And who has more money after the second additional deposit?

Answer = the answer is the Sylvia

Because at the beginning they both have 100 dollars in their account

Then Leroi deposited 10$ per week which will become 20$ for 2 weeks and have a total of 120 dollars.

Sylvia also deposited 10% of her money which is also 10$ and on the second week will be 100 + 10% = 121, she’ll also got a total of 121$.
