Question 49 • ****Spring 2026 Financial Math - MA2007 MQS21QXV

Sheila has a plan to save $45 a month for 18 months so that she has $810 to remodel her bathroom. After 13 months Sheila has saved $510. If the most Sheila can possibly save is $70 per month, which of the following statements is true?

Answer
A
Sheila will meet her goal and does not need to adjust her plan.
B
Sheila must save $50 per month to achieve her goal.
C
Sheila must save $60 per month to achieve her goal.
D
Sheila will not be able to achieve her goal.

Explanation

After 13 months, Sheila has saved $510, so she still needs $810 − $510 = $300. There are 18 − 13 = 5 months left, so she must save $300 ÷ 5 = $60 per month. That is within her maximum of $70, so the true statement is that she must save $60 per month to reach her goal.
