Question

Tom saved $60 each month for x months, and Karla saved $32 each month for y months. The

given equation represents this situation, where Tom and Karla saved a total of $960. If Tom saved
for 8 months, for how many months did Karla save?

Answer 1

Karla Saved for 15 months.

Explanation:

Tom saved 60 each month if he saved for 8 months then he made $480. Karla saved 32 each month, each of them saved the same amount, 480 because 480 + 480 = 960. divide 480 by 32 and you'll get 15. therefore Karla saved her money for 15 months.

Hope this helps :)
