choose the true statement.
a.
person a recovers their investment in a shorter amount of time.
b.
person b recovers their investment in a shorter amount of time.
c.
they recover their investments in the same amount of time.
d.
there is too little information to compare the time to recover their investments.

Person A recovers their investment in a shorter amount of time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Two people quit work and begin college at the same time.

The total investment = years attending college ×prior salary+total cost of college

∴Total investment by person A = 3×18000+45000=54000+45000=$99000

Total investment by person B =4×27000+30000=108000+30000=$138000

Let x be the time in years of recovering the investment then

salary upon graduating times x  = total investment

∴ For A     $33000 x =$99000

⇒ x =3 years

For B    $37000 x=$138000

⇒x=3.72≈4 years

⇒ Person A  took lesser time than B to recover his investment.

Therefore,Person A recovers their investment in a shorter amount of time.

step-by-step explanation: to you understand 2/3 better you can do 1 divided by 3 = . then multiply that by the 2 which is .66666666666666667 then you would do 6 x .66666666666666667 which is 4.      

hope this .
