Question

6. Andrew is planning on taking a vacation to Santorini, Greece which will cost $5,000. He makes $2900 ser

month. His fixed expenses are $1200 each month. He spends $200 on food and 5% of his monthly salary on
entertainment. How many months will it take to save enough for Andrew to go to Santorini, Greece

Answer 1

3 1/2 months (Someone please check my math)

Explanation:

We can set up this problem by making an equation.

(2900-1200-200-5%)(x)=5000

(1500-5%)(x)=5000

(1425)(x)=5000

5000 divided by 1425 equals 3.50...

My answer would be 3 1/2 months but I could be wrong.
