Respuesta :
If jim wants to buy a new computer he will have to work 20 months.
60 x 19 = 1,140 means he worked 19 months but he doesnt have enough money so if he works 1 more month then he will have enough.
60 x 20 = 1,200
Answer with explanation:
Total Cost of Computer = $ 1180
Amount that Jim can save monthly = $ 60
Let time taken by Jim to save amount which is equal to cost of computer = x months
So, the equation for above statement can be written as:
6 0 x = 1180
Dividing both sides by ,60
[tex]x=\frac{1180}{60}\\\\x=19\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
⇒Number of months=20
Maximum of 20 months , will take Jim to save $ 1180.
