The least amount Brenda can pay each month is $73.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount owed by Brenda to school = $438

Time to pay off = 6 months

Let,

x be the amount Brenda can repay in 1 month.

Time period*Amount each month ≥ Total amount

$6x\geq 438$

Dividing both sides by 6

$\frac{6x}{6}\geq \frac{438}{6}\\x\geq 73$

The least amount Brenda can pay each month is $73.
