Answer:
Only Friend A and Friend B met the target of saving $750 for their vacation
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are to find out who achieved their goal of saving $750 in 6 weeks. We would analyse the options we were given
Friend A: Works 20 hours per week at $6.95 per hour.
1 week = 20 hours
6 weeks = 20 × 6
= 120 hours
The friend each $6.95 per hours earns, the amount earned in 6 weeks =
120 hours × $6.95
= $834
Friend A met the target
Friend B: Works 25 hours per week at $5.85 per hour.
1 week = 20 hours
6 weeks = 25 × 6
= 150hours
The friend each $5.85 per hours earns, the amount earned in 6 weeks =
150 hours × $5.85
= $877.5
Friend B met the target of saving $750.
Friend C: Works 15 hours per week at $8.25 per hour.
1 week = 15 hours
6 weeks = 15 × 6
= 90hours
The friend each $8.25 per hour earns, the amount earned in 6 weeks =
90 hours × $8.25
= $742.5
Friend D did not meet the target of saving $750
Friend D: Works 11 hours per week at $10.80 per hour.
1 week = 11 hours
6 weeks = 11 × 6
= 66 hours
The friend each $10.80 per hour earns, the amount earned in 6 weeks =
66 hours × $10.80
= $712.8
Friend D did not meet the target of saving $750
Therefore, from the above calculation, only Friend A and Friend B met the target of saving $750 for their vacation.
