Given that:- Tim and Tom trying to earn money for new game in 3 months periods
Tim saved $45.19 in each month so he save total money in 3 month=> 45.19*3=$135.57
total amount for game they needed= $211.29
now total amount = saving of Tim + Saving of Tom
211.29=135.57+saving of Tom
saving of Tom= 211.29-135.57
=$75.72
it means Tim have to collect total $75.72 in 3 months periods
so in each month Tim have to save money=> 75.72/ 3=$25.24
