In the first month, she made a payment of $1451

In the second month, she paid one-third of that, which amounts to:
1451/3 = 483.66

For the third month, she pays one-third of 483.66 as indicated, meaning she takes one-third of the prior month's payment.

483.66/3 = 161.22

In the fourth month, her payment was

161.22/3 = 53.74

Altogether, her total payments amounted to:

$2149.62 - B.
