Given: A game system costs $273
To Determine: How many months must she save $41 to buy the system
To achieve this, we would divide the cost of the system by the amount saved monthly as shown below:
[tex]N_{\text{months}}=\frac{\cos t\text{ of system}}{amount\text{ saved monthly}}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} N_{\text{months}}=\frac{273}{41} \\ N_{\text{months}}=6\frac{27}{41}\text{months} \\ N_{\text{months}}\approx7months \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, number of months Susan must save $41 to buy the system is 7 months
