Answer 2

123AB456C, look at this from a deductive perspective. In your given scenario, Rachel purchases an MP3 player for $199.99 within 2 months. The variable to be solved is m, or rather, the first month. Rachel saves $87 the second month.. therefore,

\[First month + $87.00 = 199.99\] Replace the first month with "m".
\[m + 87 = 199.\]\[m = $112\]

C is your answer.
