Juliette Huffman · Answer 1

100 is the amount she started with.

50 is the amount she puts aside every month.

she wants to reach a total of 200

50x2=100

100+100=200

m=2

100+50m=200

the answer is 2

2 months

Step-by-step explanation:

She already has $100 dollars, she saves $50 per month, two months of saving will get her $100. $100 + $100 = $200.
