Answer 2

It takes 12 weeks to save atleast 4000 .

Option (b) is correct .

Explanation:

As given

Vicki works 19 hours per week.

Her take home pay is $17.30 per hour.

Vicki incomes per week = Total hours Vicki works × Cost per hour

= 19 × 17.30

= $328.7

As given

If Vicki is able to save all of her earnings, and want to save atlest $4000 .

Let us assume that the number of weeks be x for saving atlest $4000 .

Equations becomes

Income of one week × Number of weeks ≥ 4000

328.7x ≥ 4000

`x \geq(4000)/(328.7)`

x ≥ 13 weeks (Approx)

Therefore it takes 13 weeks to save atleast 4000 .

Option (b) is correct .
