Question

John currently has $5000 in his savings

Answer 1

John has $5,000 in his savings. That’s the total.
He has to give his sister $50 for her birthday.
He also spends $450 for his car payment.
We can easily put this into an equation.
50x-450=5000
Now we have to solve it.
50x-450=5000
-450 -450
50x=5000-450
50x=4550
50x/50=4550/50
x=91
So it will take 91 months to spend his $5,000.
