The equation is:

After

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation can be represented by an exponential growth equation of the form

Where a is the initial amount

b is the growth rate

t is the time in months

In this case the initial amount is $ 3. Then

if she initially saves $3 and plans to double the amount she saves each month then

The bike Jane wants is $1,536 at the local bike shop.

Then

The equation is:

Now we solve the equation for t

t=9 months. hope this helps
