Reena repays her loan in equal monthly instalments. The bar shows the loan and what she repaid in the first 3 months. If her balance is −₹9,600 at the start, after how many months will it reach 0?

Question

Accepted Answer

12 months. Each month the balance changes by 2400 ÷ 3 = +800. To go from -9600 to 0 the change is +9600, so 9600 ÷ 800 = 12 months. (Equivalently (-9600) ÷ (-800) = 12.)
