Question

You and your friends sell vegetables from your garden. You rent space from a local market for $200 a month and you make a profit of $300 a month. How many months will it take you to make $1,300?

Answer 1

`4 1/3` months

Explanation:

The rent is a trap as it is not needed.

We are told that the 'profit' for 1 month (per month) is $300

so the count of months to 'make' $1300 is `($1300)/($300)-=13/3`

`=4 1/3` months
