Question

Kayla needs $560.00 to buy a new laptop she already has $200.00 in the bank. Each month, she adds $45.00 to her bank account. In how many more months will she have enough money to buy the laptop

A: 5
B: 6
C: 7
D: 8

Answer 1

D
x=months
200+45x=560
-200 -200
45x=360
divide both sides by 45
so 360 divided by 45 is 8
so x=8
then plug in and check
200+45(8)=560
