Madam Estelita Ramos, a teacher III at Malunta Elementary School has a takehome

borrowed money to First Diamond Lending Company with a monthly deduction of
P 3,500.00. In the first 2 months she enjoyed a take home pay of P7,500.00 because
the 2 lending institutions will deduct on the 3rd month from the date she borrowed.

enough take home pay when the deduction will take effect?
