Answer:
Tamara earns $2,050 each month.
She spends 65% of that, so the amount that she spends is:
S = (65%/100%)*$2,050 = 0.65*$2,050 = $1,332.50
Then the amount that she has left is:
R = $2,050 - $1,332.50 = $717.50
Now she divides that in half, and deposits those amounts in two separate accounts.
She deposits $717.50/2 = $358.75 in each acount.
Then she deposits $358.75 per month, so after x months she has:
x*$358.75 in each of those accounts, so one of the accounts will have more than $2,500 when:
x*$358.75 = $2,500
x = $2,500/$358.75 = 6.96
So after 6.96 moths she will have more than $2,500 in one of her accounts, we can round it to:
After 10 months Tamara has deposited more than 2,500 in one of her accounts.
