After 31 months, the new washing machine will have saved an amount ($1240) almost equal to its cost (31 months × $40 per month = $1240).
So it will take one more month to save more than the cost of the refrigerator (32 months × $40 per month = $1280).
Another way to solve this problem is to divide $1250 by $40/month, which gives 31.25 months. but you needed a full month more to pay it ...
