if he continues to work 22 hours a week over the next 20 weeks, he will earn:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "20 weeks * 22 hours a week * 12 dollars an hour = 5280 dollars.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if he cuts back and only works 10 hours a week, he will earn:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "20 weeks * 10 hours a week * 12 dollars an hour = 2400 dollars.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "he loses 5280 - 2400 = 2880 dollars by working out instead of working.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the scholarship would have to be equal to 2880 to pay him back for the hours that he didn't get paid.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that's the break even point.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "anything more than that, his workouts made him money.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "anything less than that, his workouts cost him money.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
