Answer:
$25.31
Step-by-step explanation:
Tim saves $45.17 each month for 3 months, so he saves a total of 45.17 3 times = 45.17 * 3 = 135.51
total needed to save = amount Tim saves + amount Tom needs to save
amount Tom needs to save = total needed to save - amount Tim saves
= 211.44 - 135.51
= 75.93
Tom needs to save x amount of money each month for 3 months, or x 3 times for a total of 75.93, so 3*x = 75.93
divide both sides by 3 to isolate x
x = 25.31
