Answer:

a). 6 Years

Explanation:

Well here I have to make a timeline details, in fact, today the average hourly hour of work is $ 10 depending on the state the average oscillates in this value

So:


8 * 4 hours= 32 $ per day


40*22 = 704 $ per month


880* 12 = 8448 $ per year

However the half is about bills, food, transporter and fixed costs, so, annually she can spend about the 30% of his salary to paid.


(8448*30)/(100) = 2534.4 $ to pay 15000 each year


2534.4*6=  15206.4

So take about 6 years recover her investment and earning money
