Question

Kiera wants to increase her savings account to a balance of $1,350. Her current balance is $174 and she adds $84 a month to her savings.

How many months will it take for her to reach her goal of $1,350?

16 months
14 months
18 months
12 months

Answer 1

We can use the equation: 174 + 84x = 1350.

Plug in 16 months:

174 + 84(16) = 1350

Multiply:

174 + 1344 = 1350

1518 = 1350

16 months is incorrect.

Plug in 14 months:

174 + 84x = 1350

174 + 84(14) = 1350

174 + 1176 = 1350

1350 = 1350

So 14 months is correct!

Answer 2
