    4 months

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the number of months that they deposit into their accounts be m.

    Grace has $81 in her bank account and deposits $68 per month into her account. This means that after m months, she will have:

    81 + 68m

    Jasmine has $53 and deposits $75 per month into her account. This means that after m months, she will have:

    53 + 75m

    To find the number of months it will take for them to have the same amount, we equate the amount that they each have:

    81 + 68m = 53 + 75m

    Collect like terms and simplify:

    81 - 53 = 75m - 68m

    28 = 7m

    => m = 28 / 7 = 4

    It will take 4 months for them to have the same amount.
