Answer:
11 months ; $3.55
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount saved = $300
Cost of guitar = $140
Membership fee = $25
Monthly fee = $11.95
For how manyonths can Tyler afford the membership :
The one time fee = (membership fee + cost of guitar)
= $140 + $25 = $165
Amount left = $300 – $165
Amount left = $135
Number of monthly fee the balance can afford :
Amount left / monthly fee
= $135 / $11.95
= 11.29
Hence, the number of months he can pay for is 11 months
Amount left = $135 – ($11.95 * 11 months)
$135 – $131.45
= $3.55
