Answer:

a. about 2.5 years.

Explanation:

A high school graduated earns a median wage of $27,708, which is $2,309 per month. Therefore, he even could pay before this period, but we need to consider his other living expenses, rent, food, gas and so on.

So, basically the proper answer is 2.5 years, because is the minor time that answers provide.
