200 + 10m = 100 + 30m
200 - 100 = 30m - 10m
100 = 20m
100/20 = m
5 = m....she will have saved the same amount at 5 months <==
200 + 10(5) = 200 + 50 = 250
100 + 30(5) = 100 + 150 = 250
she would have saved $ 250 <===
You need to divide the numerator by the denominator to get a decimal, so 1 divided by 3. You get 0.33 repeating, so it would be 0 dollars and 33 cents.
So.. checking the picture below
we can say y = y, or just do a substitution and end up with

once you know, how long is "x", then you can simply use the cosine of 72° to get "r"
thus
Answer: 1/2x6=3 not 1/2x5 which equals 2 1/2.
