Well um first I think u wanna focus on this part  " She deposited $68.40 into her account every month for 20 months. She used $42.40 every month to pay for craft classes."

She does this process (Every) month.

I'd say (Subtract) (42.40) from (68.40) due to the fact it says she "deposited $68.40 " and "Used 42.40".

$$68.40-42.40=26$$

(26) can also be written as (26.00)

Now lets see this part "every month for 20 months." so she makes these payments each month .
(Multiply) (26.00) by (20) months.

$$26.00\times20=520$$

Last part "she used 1 over 2"

Basically saying she spends half of the (520)

You would then (Divide) (520) by (2)

$$520\div2=260$$

(260) can also be written as (260.00)

So your answer would be D.)$260.00.
