Answer 2

Only member B and D will reach their goal

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Amount to be saved = $285

Total time to save money = 5 weeks

Now,

For member A:

Working hours = 8 per week

per hour earnings = $6.15

Therefore,

The total amount collected

= working hours per week × Total weeks × Earning per hours

= 8 × 5 × 6.15

= $246

For member B:

Working hours = 10 per week

per hour earnings = $5.85

Therefore,

The total amount collected

= working hours per week × Total weeks × Earning per hours

= 10 × 5 × 5.85

= $292.5

For member C:

Working hours = 7 per week

per hour earnings = $7.25

Therefore,

The total amount collected

= working hours per week × Total weeks × Earning per hours

= 7 × 5 × $7.25

= $253.75

For member D:

Working hours = 9 per week

per hour earnings = $6.35

Therefore,

The total amount collected

= working hours per week × Total weeks × Earning per hours

= 9 × 5 × $6.35

= $285.75

Since, the amount earned by member B and D is greater than the goal amount and the amount earned by member A and C is less than the goal amount

therefore,

Only member B and D will reach their goal
