He must save $150 each of the last two months in order to meet his goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount Colin wants to save = $900

Amount saved each month for 8 months = $75

Amount saved in 8 months = 75*8 = $600

Let,

x be the amount saved each month for remaining two months.

Therefore;

Number of months * Amount saved + Amount saved in 8 months = Total amount to save

$2x+600=900\\2x=900-600\\2x=300$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{300}{2}\\x=150$

He must save $150 each of the last two months in order to meet his goal.
