Answer 1

Answer: She deposits 50 dollars per month right? But as known her parents deposited her 2,500. So, it will take her 50 months to complete the amount of 5000 dollars needed for college.

Step-by-step explanation: Im not good with equations but here we go.

First: AS we know the account already had 2,500, and every month she deposits 50$.

What we can do is to divide 2,500 divided by 50 which will be 50.
