You are trying to get $750 so your equation will start like this:
750=....
you add $85 each month to the amount you originally got which is $325
so, 750=85x+325

first subtract 325 from 750

425=85x

then divide 425 by 85

x=5

It will take 5 months to earn enough for the laptop.

Another way to find out is 750-325=425 then divide 425 by 85 the answer to that is the answer to your question
