Question

Benjamin already has $800 in his savings account and has budgeted himself to save $100 per month. If he wants to save at least $3,000, how many months will it take Benjamin to reach his goal?

Answer 1

22 months

Explanation:

variable x = number of months

800 + 100x = 3000

isolate the variable x

100x = 3000 - 800

100x = 2200

x = 2200 ÷ 100

x = 22
