Answer 2

First month she payed 1451 dollars

Second month she payed 1/3 of that, which is:
1451/3 = 483.66

Third month she payed 1/3 of 483.66 because as text says, every next month she pays 1/3 of previous month payed amount.

483.66/3 = 161.22

Forth month she payed

161.22/3 = 53.74

In total she payed:

$2149.62 - B.
