Answer:

5 months

Explanation:

Current balance = $75

Monthly deductions = $12.50

75 - 12.5h

Where ,

h = number of months for deduction

she must maintain a balance greater than zero dollars

how many months will Audrey's account stay above zero dollars

0 > 75 - 12.5h

0 - 75 > -12.5h

-75 > - 12.5h

h < -75 / 12.5h

h < 6 months

h < 6 months means h must be less than 6 months which is 5 months

Audrey's account will stay above zero dollars for 5 months and will equal zero dollars in the 6th month
