Total Cost : 1800

12 dollars * 16 hours = 192 dollars earned

0.2 percent * 192 = 38.4 dollars saved

A. She earns 192 dollars every week

B. She will save 38.4 dollars * 7 weeks = 268.8 dollars in a week.

C. 7 days times 4.3 weeks = 30.1 days. 30.1 days * 38.4 = 1,155.84 dollars every month.

D. it will take her about 1.6 months to save the money. Since 1800 divided by 1,155.84 = 1.6 months
