20 months have passed since Laura retired.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Amount saved by Laura = $493133.00
One month expense = $1695.00
x months expense = 1695x
Remaining balance = $459233.00
Total amount spent = Amount saved by Laura - Remaining balance
Total amount spent = 493133.00 - 459233.00
Total amount spent = $33900
x months expense = 33900
1695x = 33900
[tex]x=\frac{33900}{1695}\\x=20[/tex]
20 months have passed since Laura retired.
