Question

Janice has $1000 in her bank account. She pays $175 a month for her cable and internet bill. She wants to have at least $450 in her account for winter break. How may months can continue to pay her cable and internet bill

X= # of months

Answer 1

3 months

Explanation:

1000 - 450 = 550

She has 550 available to pay for her cable.

550/175 = 3.1428571429 That rounds to 3 months

1000- (3x 175)

1000 - 525 = 475 That leaves 475 in her account.
