Question

Alyson opened a savings account with $100. She saves $50 per month. Which equation shows how many months, m, Alyson will have to save to have a total of $200 in her account?

Answer 1

100 is the amount she started with.
50 is the amount she puts aside every month.
she wants to reach a total of 200
50x2=100
100+100=200
m=2
100+50m=200

the answer is 2

Answer 2

2 months

Explanation:

She already has $100 dollars, she saves $50 per month, two months of saving will get her $100. $100 + $100 = $200.
