He would need to save $ 55 every month for 5 month

Step-by-step explanation:

Coltin wants to buy a video game system which would cost him $275 in 5 months time and he wants to save this this amount over a period of time. If he saves the same amount each month for 5 months, the amount he saves depend only on the equal amount he chose to save over time. The month is 5 and remains constant. To find what that same amount would be,

Let the amount = x

x = cost of the video game system / total number of months.

x = 275 / 5 = 55

He would need to save $ 55 every month for 5 month.
