To recover the investment James will take \boxed{2.5{\text{ years}}}.

Further Explanation:

Given:

The current salary of James is \$ 42000.

The time taken to complete the college degree is 2{\text{ years}}.

The cost of the college degree is \$ 28000.

The James’ new salary after college degree will be \$ 56000.

Calculation:

The total investment of James can be calculated as follows,

\begin{aligned}{\text{Investment}} &= {\text{Salary of 2 years}} + {\text{2 years tuition fees}} \\&= 2 \times 42000 + 2 \times 28000\\&= 84000 + 56000\\&= \$ 140000\\\end{aligned}

The total investment for 2 years will be \$ 140000.

The James’ new salary after college degree will be \$ 56000.

The time taken by James to recover \$ 140000.

\begin{aligned}{\text{Time}} &= \frac{{140000}}{{56000}}\\&= 2.5{\text{ years}}\\\end{aligned}

To recover the investment James will take \boxed{2.5{\text{ years}}}.

It will take 2.5 years for James to recover his investment.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

<u>Given:</u>

From the above problem, we get these information

- James' current salary is $42000/year

- His college's tuition fee is $ 28000/year

- It takes 2 years to complete his degree

- Salary after finish degree is $ 56000

<u>Question:</u>

How many years will it take James to recover his investment?

James' investment would be his college's tuition fee for 2 years and the salary that he should get while away from work for 2 years.

Those statement can be write down:

investment = 2 years tuition + 2 years salary

\boxed {investment = (2 \times42000)+ (2\times28000) }\\\boxed {investment = 84000+56000=140000 }

so the total investment is $ 140000

After finished study, James salary would be $56000/year, so the investment will recover in

\boxed {\frac{140000}{56000} = 2.5 years }

hence, the investment will recover in 2.5 years.

A car is traveling at a speed of 25 meters per second what is the cars speed in kilometers per hour how many kilometers will the
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

  • 90 km/h
  • 180 km

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 1000 m in 1 km, and 3600 s in 1 h, so the speed conversion is ...

  \dfrac{25\,m}{s}\cdot\dfrac{1\,km}{1000\,m}\cdot\dfrac{3600\,s}{1\,h}=\dfrac{90\,km}{h}

The car's speed is 90 km/h.

__

In 2 hours, the car will travel ...

  distance = speed · time = (90 km/h)(2 h) = 180 km
