Brenda has an associate’s degree earning the median salary. She wants to quit working and go to college to get just a basic bachelor’s degree. If she completes her degree in 2 years and it costs $15,000, how long will it take her to recover her investment assuming that she earns the median salary? A graph titled Median Annual Household Income by Educational Attainment of Householder, 1997. Professional degree, 92,228 dollars; doctorate degree, 87,232 dollars; master's degree, 68,115 dollars; Bachelor's degree or more, 63,292 dollars; Bachelor's degree, 59,048 dollars; associate degree, 45,258 dollars; some college, no degree, 40,015 dollars; high school graduate, 33,779 dollars; ninth to twelfth grade, 19,851 dollars; than twelfth grade, 15,541 dollars. a. almost 6 years b. almost 7 years c. almost 8 years d. almost 9 years

  a. almost 8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Brenda's expected annual increase in salary is ...

  $63,292 -45,258 = $18,034

If we assume that Brenda's cost of education includes going without 2 years' salary as well as the cost of tuition, her degree's total cost will be ...

  2×$45,258 +15,000 = $105,516

__

Once Brenda starts earning again, she is recovering this cost at the rate of $18,034 per year, so it will take ...

  $105,516/($18,034 /yr) = 5.85 yr

to recover that cost.

Since Brenda spent 2 years in school, from the time she decides to start school until she has recovered her cost, it will be 2 + 5.85 = 7.85 years, almost 8 years.

If Brenda can continue working while going to school, she can recover her tuition cost in about 10 months after graduation.

step-by-step explanation:

d. millimeters per hour.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that,

carlo used a rain gauge to measure the amount of water his lawn is receiving from the sprinklers.

since, according to the options, we see that,

water cannot be measured by 'miles per hour', 'meters per second' and 'grams per seconds'.

we get that, the water can be measured by 'millimeters per hour'.

hence, the appropriate rate for describing the amount of water is 'millimeters per hour'.
