Question

a person saves rs.100 in beginning and then every month he saves rs.50 more than the previous month.After how many months he saves rs.257500

Answer 1

5148 months

Explanation:

the equation that can be used to represent this question is :

100 + 50x = total amount that would be saved in x month

x = number of months

100 + 50x = 257,500

collect like terms

50x = 257,500 - 100

50x = 257,400

x = 257,400 / 50

x = 5148 months
