If Leonardo is going to save $20 more the second month than the first month then to solve you can subtract 20 from 100 which gives you 80, then you divide it in half which gives you 40. So the first month he'll save $40 and then the second month he'll save 40 plus 20 which is $60

Leonardo wants to save 100 dollars in the next 2 months. He knows that in the second month he will save 20 dollars more than during the first month.How much should he save each mont?

Let amount he needs to save in the first month be F
Then amount he needs to save in the 2nd month = F + 20

Since he has to save $100 within a 2-month period, then: F + F + 20 = 100

2F + 20 = 100

2F = 80

F, or amount to be saved in the 1st month = , or $

Amount to be saved in the 2nd month = 40 + 20, or $
