Answer 2

Answer:

Option:B is the correct answer.  

       B) $250, $300, $350, $400, $450

Step-by-step explanation:

It was given that Brenda initially has: $ 200 in her account.

Also, at the end of the month she saves $ 50 each month.

This means that the she has next month is: $250

Then next month it is: $ 300

( since again she saves $ 50 the next month )

After that she will have: $ 350 in her account.

After that she will have: $ 400 in her account.

and at last she will have: $ 450 in her account with which she could buy her laptop.
