Answer 1

Given:

One time payment, p = $300

Payment per month, q = $65

Number of months paid, n = 5

The objectiv is to find the amount she paid in 5 months.

Let x be the amount she paid in 5 months. Then the the formula is,

$x=p+nq$

Let's substitute the values.

$\begin{gathered} x=300+5(65) \\ x=300+325 \\ x=625 \end{gathered}$

Hence, total amount paid in 5 months is $625.
