Answer:
Sharifa can pay for the DVD player first.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Max:</u>
99 - 31 = $68 remaining
68 / 8.5 = <em>8 weeks</em>
<u>Sharifa:</u>
99 - 25.5 = $73.50 remaining
73.5 / 10.5 = <em>7 weeks</em>
$8.25
The first 5 checks are free so you can subtract the 5 from 18 which is 13. Then you multiply 13 & .25 which is equal to $3.25 and then you just add the $5
