Answer 1

Given data:

initial balance in the account :$4200

Each month to be paid for rent =$600

Amount of Balalnce left in the account after paying m months rent =$1200

subract the inital amount from the balance amount.

4200-1200=3000

Thus, the amount paid for the rent is 600 then

`600*5=3000`

Therefore it takes 5 months of paying rent from the account to have $1200 left.
