8

Step-by-step explanation:

he earns $125 and spends $20 each month so he saves $105 every month.

to find how long it would take him to save $800 we need to divide 800 to 105

which is equal to 7 approximately to see how much more needed we will multiply 7 and 105

7 * 105 = 735

$65 more needed so he has to wait another month

8 * 105 = $840
