Question

1. raphael wants to buy a new car.

a. he needs a down payment of $3,000. if he saves $340 each month, about how many months will it take him to save the down payment?

Explanation:

Step1: Set up division formula

We divide the total down - payment by the monthly savings amount. Let $n$ be the number of months. The formula is $n=\frac{3000}{340}$.

Step2: Calculate the result

$n=\frac{3000}{340}=\frac{150}{17}\approx8.82$. Since we need to have enough money for the down - payment, we round up to the next whole number.

Answer:

9 months
