In June, Cory beings to save money for a video game and a TV he wants to buy in December. He starts with $22. Each month he plans to save 10% more than the previous math. How much money will he have at the end of December?

Answer 1

In July, Cory saves 10% more than $22, which is $2.20. So he has saved a total of $24.20 (22+2.20) by the end of July.

In August, Cory saves 10% more than $24.20, which is $2.42. So he has saved a total of $26.62 (24.20+2.42) by the end of August.

Cory continues saving 10% more than the previous month's savings each month until December.

By the end of September, Cory has saved $29.28.
By the end of October, Cory has saved $32.21.
By the end of November, Cory has saved $35.43.

Finally, by the end of December, Cory has saved a total of $38.97. This is the amount he will have to buy his video game and TV.
