Answer 2

Answer:

a). 6 Years

Step-by-step explanation:

Well here I have to make a timeline details,  in fact, today the average hourly hour of work is $ 10 depending on the state the average oscillates in this value

So:

$8 * 4 hours= 32$ $ per day

$40*22 = 704$ $ per month

$880* 12 = 8448$ $ per year

However the half is about bills, food, transporter and  fixed costs, so, annually she can spend about the 30% of his salary to paid.

$\frac{8448*30}{100} = 2534.4$ $ to pay 15000 each year

$2534.4*6= 15206.4$

So take about 6 years recover her investment and earning money
