Answer with explanation:

Total Cost of Computer = $ 1180

Amount that Jim can save monthly = $ 60

Let time taken by Jim to save amount which is equal to cost of computer = x months

So, the equation for above statement can be written as:

6 0 x = 1180

Dividing both sides by ,60

$x=\frac{1180}{60}\\\\x=19\frac{2}{3}$

⇒Number of months=20

Maximum of 20 months , will take Jim to save $ 1180.

If jim wants to buy a new computer he will have to work 20 months.

60 x 19 = 1,140 means he worked 19 months but he doesnt have enough money so if he works 1 more month then he will have enough.
