Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

I think it is $170 a month.

Is subtracted 8,500-6,460 and that gave me 2,040.

I divided that by 12 and it gave me 170

Answer:

First answer:  $170 per month

Second answer:  50 months, or 4 years and 2 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Find out how much he paid in the first year.  He started with $8500 in debt and after the first year his debt was down to $6460, subtract $6460 from $8500...

   $8500 - $6460 = $2040

So he paid $2040 in the first year.  Divide that by 12 to see how much he paid per month.

  $2040/12 = $170 per month

Step 2:  Find out how many months it takes him to pay back the full $8500.  Divide $8500 by $170

 $8500/$170 = 50

 So 50 months, or 4 years and 2 months
