The answer would be A. 4.

Josh:
25x4=100
100+250=350
so at 4 months Josh would have $350 saved

Katie:
The table says at 4 months she has $335 saved.

Answer:

I believe the answer is A. 4

Explanation:

if you make a table starting with $250 and + $25 every month when you get to the 4th month Josiah has only $325 and Katie has $335. I hope this helps.
