Nathan wanted to go on a field trip to Europe. The total cost of the field trip was $3,960. Nathan wanted to make payments. Each monthly payment would be $242 a month. How many months would he have to wait to pay off the total cost.

the nearest whole number is 17. when you divide 3960 by 242, you get 16.363636.... but, he wouldn't have completely paid it off at 16 months, so it would be fully paid at 17 months
