You can put this solution on YOUR website!
.

From the context (not from the text !), the amount which Rob saves each month, is the difference inflow - outflow = $420 - $360.


Calculate this amount: it is your first step in the solution.


Your next step is to divide $720 by this amount.


Everything is quite obvious in this problem; so I really do not understand why you so panic with so simple problems.
