Answer: After 4 months

(This explanation is from the internet from 3 Solving Day 3 Worksheet KEY.pdf) (This explanation is not fully mine)

Step By Step Explanation:

60 + 42.95m = 57.95m

- 42.95m - 42.95m

57.95 - 42.95 = 15

60 divided by 15

15m divided by 15

(once you divide 15m by 15 you are only left with the variable m)

4 = m
