Answer:
B. 10 months
Step-by-step explanation:
The balance on the loan will be ...
b = 1600 - 80t . . . . . . where t is the number of months of payments
The balance in the savings account will be ...
s = 500 + 25t
The savings account balance will be at least as much as the loan balance when ...
s ≥ b
500 +25t ≥ 1600 -80t . . . substitute the account balance expressions
105t ≥ 1100 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 80t -500
t ≥ 1100/105 ≈ 10.48 ≈ 10
