Answer 2

1. Input = $ 577

2.Output = $ 226

Explanation:

Thinking process:

Let the amount drawn between the 5th month and the 13 th month be x

From the 5th to 13 th month are 8 months.

Therefore, the difference will be $ 442 - $ 226 = $ 216

This amount is distributed over 8 months so each month Alma withdraws:
`($216)/(8) = $ 27.00`

In the meantime, the 5th month, the money withdrawn will be: $ 442 + (5×$ 27.00) = $ 577.00

The output will be $ 216. This is the amount remaining after all the withdraws.
