Answer 2

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

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

Our sequence will be
