Mike and Kate plan to save money for their wedding over a 20-month period.

They will need to save $8,000 to help pay for the wedding.

They set aside the same amount each month. After a year they saved $4,000.

Mike and Kate know they must adjust their plan in order to meet their goal, so they came up with the following options:

Option A: Stay with saving the same amount they've been saving each month, but postpone the wedding 2 months.

Then they need to save $4,000 in 10 months, but they did it in 12 months. So this option is not correct.

Option B: Increase the amount of money they save each month by $80 from what they've been saving.

Then they need to save $4,000 in 8 month, the rate is increased by $80. Then the total amount in 8 months will be,

⇒ (4000 / 12 + 80) x 8

⇒ $3,307

This option is not true.

Neither option A nor option B will allow them to meet their goal.

Then the correct option is D.
