In place

[namsteven]

Dear Teacher,

1) It’s $ 600-630, which represents an $ 80-90 month to month decrease.

- I don’t understand the meaning of “ represents” and “ month to month” in this sentence. Please help me explain them.

2) As payment instruments were not in place.

- What does this sentence mean?

Thanks very much.

Nam Steven.

In this sentence you can substitute means/signifies/indicates for represents.
For month to month, substitute monthly/per month.


2) As payment instruments were not in place.

- What does this sentence mean?
This probably means that the paperwork/computer program was not ready to receive payments. For example, loan payments, ******** payments, insurance payments, etc.
