Yoryi bought an Apple Watch for $470. He paid $200 at the time of purchase and will make monthly payments of $30 to finish paying for the Apple Watch. He used the equation 200 + 30m = 470 to determine the number of months (m) he needs to make payments. For how many months will he make payments?

Final answer:

Yoryi will make payments for 9 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the number of months (m) Yoryi needs to make payments, we can solve the equation 200 + 30m = 470. Here's how:

  1. Subtract 200 from both sides of the equation: 30m = 270.
  2. Divide both sides of the equation by 30: m = 9.

Therefore, Yoryi will make payments for 9 months.
