You're very welcome.
To find out how much the Jones' will save in three months, we can start by calculating how much they can save each month.
The total cost of the vacation is $2500, and they are able to save 1/5 of the cost each month. To find 1/5 of the cost, we need to divide the total cost by 5.
$2500 / 5 = $500
Therefore, the Jones' can save $500 each month.
To find out how much they will save in three months, we can simply multiply the monthly saving by the number of months.
$500 x 3 = $1500
Therefore, the Jones' will save $1500 in three months.
