The bag contains 2+4+2=8 marbles in total.

We are going to find a probability of the opposite event: drawing marbles of same color.

There are three possibilities:

1. Drawing both green marbles

2. Drawing both yellow marbles

3. Drawing both red marbles

The probability of drawing both green marbles:

P_1=\frac{2}{8}\cdot \frac{1}{7} = \frac{1}{4}\cdot \frac{1}{7}=\frac{1}{28}

The probability of drawing both yellow marbles:

P_2=\frac{4}{8}\cdot \frac{3}{7} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot \frac{3}{7}=\frac{3}{14}

The probability of drawing both red marbles:

P_3=\frac{2}{8}\cdot \frac{1}{7} = \frac{1}{4}\cdot \frac{1}{7}=\frac{1}{28}

So, the probability of drawing marbles of the same color is:

P=P_1+P_2+P_3=\frac{1}{28}+\frac{3}{14}+\frac{1}{28}=\frac{2}{28}+\frac{3}{14}=\frac{1}{14}+\frac{3}{14}=\frac{4}{14}=\frac{2}{7}

Now, the probability of drawing marbles of different colors is:

1-\frac{2}{7}=\frac{5}{7}=0.7142

Sally earns per hour = $12

Sally works for in a week = 16 hours.

So, Sally earns in a week = 12\times16=192

Sally can save money each week= 20% of 192

\frac{20}{100}\times192=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\times38.40=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 =

\frac{1800}{165.12}=10.90

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