Nick.

40 - 1.50

38.5 - 1.50

37 - 1.50

35.5 - 1.50

34 - 1.50

32.5 - 1.50

31 - 1.50

29.5 - 1.50

27 - 1.50

25.5 - 1.50

= 24. 10 days.

24 - 1.50

= 22.5 after 11 days.

Bob:

9 + 1.50

10.50 + 1.50

12 + 1.50

13.50 + 1.50

15 + 1.50

16.50 + 1.50

18 + 1.50

19.50 + 1.50

21 + 1.50

22.50 + 1.50

Same amount of money: 24. After 10 days.

25.50 + 1.50

Bob will have more money then Nick in 11 days. He'll have 27 dollars when Nick has 22.5 dollars.
