Question

James is saving up to buy himself a new drum set that costs $1300. He has already saved $500 and his parents have agreed to pay for half of the total cost. He wants to save the rest of the money he needs over six months. If he saves the same amount each month, how much does he have to save each month? Round your answer to the nearest penny

Answer 1

25$ Each month

Explanation:

Half of 1300$ is 650$ so add the 500$ and then subtract is from 1300$ you get 150$ needed, so across 6 months he needs to raise 25$
