Olivia will have $177.50 in the end of five months after all fees.
Let's find the equatio first to represent this problem.
240-12.50x=y
X is the number of months, and y is the remaining amount of money in her account. We're are looking for 5 months, so let's plug in 5 for x.
240-12.50(5)=y
240-62.5=y
177.50=y
Olivia will have $177.50 at the end of five months.
