The post-solution note

Regarding this problem, it is important to understand, that "a month" is not an established unit of time.
Some months have 30 days; other have 31 days; February has 28 or 29 days.

Therefore, the given problem is NOT a Math problem: it operates with indefinite unit of time "a month".

So, in the best case, it is a puzzle task; but in any case, it is not a Math problem.
