D. How many months will it take her to save the money

Answer 1

Sally earns per hour = $12

Sally works for in a week = 16 hours.

So, Sally earns in a week =
`12*16=192`

Sally can save money each week= 20% of 192

`(20)/(100)*192=38.40`

A. How much does she earn each week ? Sally earns $192 in a week.

B. How much money will she save each week? Sally will save $38.40 each week.

C. How much money will she save each month (assume there are 4.3 weeks in a month)

Savings of 1 week = $ 38.40

Savings of 4.3 weeks =
`4.3*38.40=165.12`

Hence, she will save $165.12 in a month.

D. How many months will it take her to save the money?

Total money needed = $1800

Number of months needed to collect this amount =

`(1800)/(165.12)=10.90`

Hence, it will take 11 months approx to save $1800.
