Question

Samantha gets paid $4,000 each month. She spends a total of $3,700 on housing, food, transportation, and phone bills. If Samantha wants to buy a new laptop for $1,200, how many months will she have to save up for it?

Answer 1

4 months because she gets paid 4,000 and she spends 3,700 that will leave her with 300 becouse if you subtract 4,000 and 3,700 it equals 300 and she would have to wait 4 months to get. A new lap top she will save the rest and the other half goes to every thing so basically just 4 months so if you need to add how u did it just put in 4,000-3,700=300 so ya

Answer 2

4 months

Explanation:

she has $300 left over every month and after 4 months she will have $1,200
