Question

Heather is looking to buy a new car but must save for a down payment. The down payment is $3,458. If she saves $319 permonth, how many months must she save for the down payment?

Answer 1

Your answer rounded is 11!

Answer 2

To answer this question, we have to divide the total amount she has to save by the amount Heather saves each month.

Heather saves $319 per month and the down payment is $3,458, therefore, she has to save for

`(3458)/(319)\text{ months.}`

Simplifying the above result, we get:

`10.84months\approx11\text{months.}`

Answer:

Rounded: 11 months.
