Answer: 12 months (1 year)

We know that Alision gains $29.26 each month. She wants to buy a stereo for $339.12

You want to divide $339.12 with $29.26 to find the total months.

339.12 / 29.26 = 11.6

CHECK:

You want to round up, since she needs the money to buy a stereo. She's allowed to have more money.

29.26 * 12 = 351.12

It will take Alision 12 months (1 year) to buy her stereo.
