Question

Alison saves $29.26 each month. How man months will it take her to save enough money to buy a stereo for $339.12?

Answer 1

12 months

Explanation:

To obtain this answer you need to divide the total amount needed for the stereo by the amount Alison makes each month and round up to the next full month. Therefore the equation for `m`onths needed can be written as:

`m = 339.12/29.26`

`m = 11.6` and rounding up gives you an answer of 12 months.
