Question

Darryl intended to save $150 a month for the next 18 months to purchase a boat. However, after 10 months he has only managed to save $1,200. How much will Darryl need to save now in order to accomplish his original goal?

Answer 1

You can find this by multiplying 150 by 18 to see how much monney he needed for his original goal:

150 times 18 = $2700

After 10 months he saves $1200 , which means to find out how much money he needs to save up for $2700, you will subtract 1200 from 2700:

2700 - 1200 = 1500

He still needs $1500. Which should take, 10 months since he saves $150 a month and 1500/150 = 10.
