Question

If Gage gets 40 bucks a month how much months would it take him to get 300 bucks.

Answer 1

Answer:

7 to 8 months / most probably 8 months

7.5 months to be exact

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!! Let's work!

So lets Break it down,

Given: $40 every month

Prove: How many months till he has in total $300

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We need to multiply the number of months to 40 to get 300

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So lets refer to a multiplication chart to make it easier:

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Here is an example of the equation we will use:

400 x (months) = $300 / (or how much ever we get)

```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

As you can see:

We have 2 final equations because we don't have a straight forward answer. (Refer to explanation below)

40 x 7 = 280

and

40 x 8 = 320

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So in problems like these we have to think like we would in real life, if you have an option you can write 7 to 8 months or you should write 8 instead of seven since they may be asking for a specific amount of months and after 8 months Gage will reach (surpass) his goal of $300 by $20.
