Yolanda would like to attend a 12-month program that will certify her as a court reporter. The program costs $8,500 in tuition,
fees, and books and will allow her to make about $31,250 a year when she becomes certified. She will not have time to work during the year of training. Assuming she could make $18,000 a year without the
training, how many years will it take her to recoup her investment? years
31,250 / 12 = 2604.16667 8,500/ 2604.16667 = 3.264 months of second year 12 + 3.264 = 15.264 months days 30 * 0.264= 7.92 add the together = 15 months and 8 days
