Let x represent the amount of months she has been saving for.
20x - 60 = 280
Solve for x.
20x - 60 = 280
~Add 60 to both sides
20x - 60 + 60 = 280 + 60
~Simplify
20x = 340
~Divide 20 to both sides
20x/20 = 340/20
~Simplify
x = 17
Therefore, Melanie has saved for 17 months.
Best of Luck!

Using proportions, it is found that the Pretty Pizza Company should open a new pizza place at any of the North or the South blocks.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.
The proportion of <u>pizza places per person</u> in each block of the town is given as follows:
- North: 32/(221 x 15) = 0.0096 < 1.
- South: 28/(22 x 150) = 0.0084 < 1.
Both proportions are less than 0.01, hence the Pretty Pizza Company should open a new pizza place at any of the North or the South blocks.
