Question #42501

Answer 1

`20` months

Explanation:

Suppose the number of months needed = `x`

Thus, at the end of `x` months, Kenya pays at the first dealer = `$2350+175xx x`

and, at the end of `x` months, Kenya pays at the second dealer = `$2850+150xx x`

Now, these two payments are equal at the end of `x` months

Therefore,
`$2350+175xx x` = `$2850+150xx x`

or, `175x-150x` = `$2850-$2350`

or, `25x` = `$500`

or, `x` = `$500/25` = `20` months
