The smith family made an $800 down payment and pays $75 per month for new furniture. at the same time the cooper family made a $500 down payment and pays $95 per month for new furniture. after how many months will it be before the amounts they have paid are equal?

the answer is 5636.7

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)
