Q. Tim and Tom are trying to earn money to buy a new game system over a

3

-month period. Tim saved

\$45.06

each month. If they need a total of

\$210.51

to buy the game system, how much does Tom need to earn each of the

3

months in order to buy the game system?

Calculate Total Savings: First, calculate the total amount Tim will save over the $3$ -month period.
Find Needed Amount: Next, subtract Tim's total savings from the total cost of the game system to find out how much more money is needed.
Calculate Monthly Earnings: Finally, divide the remaining amount by $3$ to find out how much Tom needs to earn each month.
