Question

Kaitha wanted to buy a laptop. she saved 1/3 of the cost of the laptop in the first month. In the second month, she saved $125 less than what she saved in the first month. she saved the remaining $525 in the third month. how much did the laptop cost.

Answer 1

It costed $1200

Explanation:

First Month Saved 1/3 of total cost

Second Month (1/3 of total cost) - 125

Third Month 525

525-125= 1/3 of total (If she saved the same amount the second month as the first month, then she's already saved 2/3 of the money)

400 = 1/3 of total cost

3X400=1200
