Answer 1

8 months

Explanation:

$240 total fee

240−40=200

is the fee for monthly charges

200÷40=8

8 months had to pass before the monthly charges fee reached 200 the 40 in 240 was the one time fee 8 months of a 25 adds up to 200.

200+40=240

Subtract the one-time fee from the total fee then divide that (200) by the amount charged per month (25) to find the amount of months that passed for the total fee to equal 240.
