Answer:

After 31 months, Desmond first have enough money to purchase a used car.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Saving per month for a used car = $25

Each month he is able to save = $5 more than the previous month

If we have $3000 to purchase a used car.

So, we need to find the number of months Desmond to have enough money.

Our sequence will be

25,30,35,..............3000

So, it becomes,

Months can't be negative, So,

n = 31 months.

Hence, After 31 months, Desmond first have enough money to purchase a used car.
