We have to find when she will accumulate $175. If she saves $5 more for each month, then in the following months she will save 15, 20, 25 and so on. We can generalize this sequence as 10 + 5(n-1), where n is the number of the months. Applying the sum of nth formula of algebraic sequence, we can write
The correct answer is 7 months. We can check that for seven months she will save 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and including the first 10 dollar will sum up to 175 dollars.
