Question 879079: Please Help Me Figure out and Solve This Problem.
"during the first four months of the year Monica saved 245 dollars? after starting a job she was able to to save the remaining part of the 700 dollar purchase in 14 weeks. What is the average monthly salary, in dollars per month, Monica earns"
Answer by JulietG(1812) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Before she started her job, she saved $245. After she started the job, she saved the remaining amount, or $700-$245 = $455.
She earned the $455 in 14 weeks.
455%2F14= $32.50 per week (or $4.64 per day)
*ASSUMING* 30 days per month, she earned $4.64 * 30, or $139.20
.
It will depend upon what your instructor is considering a "month". But that is the process.
