Kate is saving money to take an SAT prep course. So far, she has $180 saved, and she plans to add $17 each month.

Part A) Write an equation to represent Kate's total savings. Define your variables

Part B) Determine how much she will have saved after 5 months.

Part C) Kate started adding $17 each month in January. If the course she is planning to take costs $350 and starts in December, will Kate have enough money to pay for the course before it starts?

It will take her 10 weeks to save enough money. 350-180=170 170/17=10 Hope this helps!
