Answer: After adding the number of butterflies she saw in the past 4 months and assigning it to the variable "b", the next step for Amy would be to add the number of butterflies she saw in the current month.

Once she has both the current month and the past 4 months total number of butterflies, she can then subtract the past 4 months total from the current month total.

The result will be the number of butterflies seen this month than in the past 4 months.

Amy can then record and analyze her data.
