Answer:

$34.25

Explanation:

If you are charging 12.25 a month you can write an equation with the variable m representing months and t representing the total cost.

12.25m = t

Since it is asking for 7 months plug 7 into m.

12.25(7) = t.

Multiply 12.25 by 7 to find the total cost after 7 months.

t = 85.75.

Therefore the total for 7 months is $85.75

To find how much is in the original equation we need to subtract the total from 120 by using the equation with r representing the remaining money:

120 - t = r

120 - 85.75 = 34.25
