Question

Emma borrowed $89.40 from her sister. She determines that she can pay her back the total over six months. Which number reflects the monthly change in her balance?

Answer 1

$14.9

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

we are told that Emma borrowed $89.40 from her sister to pay her back in 6 months.

let us solve for the amount she is to pay her sister every month.

amount to be paid per month= 89.40/6

=$14.9

So that every month she pays back her sister $14.9

we don't know her balance but every month there will be a deduction.

Hence the monthly change in her balance is reflected by a deduction of $14.9
