She can save all of the money earned working the extra hours. Which of the following statements is true? a. Fran must work at least 15 hours per week to meet her goal. b.

A
B
B
C
C
D
D

Explanation

Fran earns $225 ÷ 15 = $15 per hour. Saving $40 each week gives her $40 × 20 = $800, so she needs another $600 to reach $1,400. Each extra hour she works per week adds $15 × 20 = $300 in savings, so she needs 2 extra hours per week, for a total of 17 hours. The true statement is that Fran must work at least 17 hours per week.
