Kenya plans to make a down payment plus monthly payments in order to buy a

motorcycle. At one dealer she would pay $2,250 down and $200 each month. At
another dealer, she would pay $2,850 down and $175 each month. After how
many months would the total amount paid be the same for both dealers? What
would that amount be?
After
months Kenya will have paid $
for the bike at either dealer.

Answer:

Explanation:

2500+150x=3000+125x

150x-125x=3000-2500

25x=500

x=500/25

x=20 mo

----------------

2500+150*20=3000+125*20

5500=5500 total paid after twenty months

Hope this is helpful
