She saves $450 in the first month and $200 in the second month. Find the amount she should save in the third month to buy a digital camera at the end of three months.

Step 1) Average of $300 per month times 3 months = $900.

Step 2) $450 + $200 + x = $900

Step 3) $900 – ($450 + $200) = $250

Answer) You were right. It’s $250

(450+200+x)/3=300

650 + x = 900
