David's Bicycle Savings Problem

Hard Word Problems Number Operations

David is saving money to buy a new bicycle that costs $240. He currently has $60 saved. He plans to save $45 every month. How many months will it take David to save enough money to buy the bicycle?

To find the number of months, first subtract the amount David already has from the total cost of the bicycle. Then divide the remaining amount he needs to save by the amount he saves each month.

Use the equation: $$ ext{Months} = rac{ ext{Total Cost} - ext{Current Savings}}{ ext{Monthly Savings}}$$
