Question

Heather is looking to buy a new car but must save for a down payment. The down payment is $3,458. If she saves $319 permonth, how many months must she save for the down payment?

Answer 1

To answer this question, we have to divide the total amount she has to save by the amount Heather saves each month.

Heather saves $319 per month and the down payment is $3,458, therefore, she has to save for

$\frac{3458}{319}\text{ months.}$

Simplifying the above result, we get:

$10.84months\approx11\text{months.}$

Answer:

Rounded: 11 months.
