Sabrina needs $12,000 for her first year of college. Her mom has already saved $9,000. Sabrina has to pay the rest. She has 8 months to save enough money for her first year of college. How much does she need to save each month ?

She needs to save $375 each month. This is because the total she needed was $12,000 but her mom paid $9,000 which leaves $3,000 and she has eight months and 3,000 divided by 8 = $375

Hope this helps.

Answer:

$375

Explanation:

subtract 9,000 from the 12,000, then divide the 3,000 by 8 and you get 375.
