Question

Jon has saved $1,300 to buy a used car. The car he wants costs $4160. If Jon saves $220 a month how many long will it take him to get enough money for the car?

Answer 1

13 months

Explanation:

First, find out how much money he needs by subtracting what he currently has from his goal.

`4160 - 1300 = 2860`

Then divide how much he needs by how much he saves every month.

`2860 / 220 = 13`

It will take Jon 13 months to save enough for his car.
