Gina Wilson and Taylor Baker are roommates employed at Walmart while attending college. Their goal is to buy a car for $\$15,000$ in cash at the end of the year. For that reason, they have put themselves on a strict budget which includes the following:

$40\%$ food and lodging, $20\%$ entertainment, $10\%$ education

Gina earns $\$$2,400 per month and Taylor earns $\$1,900$ per month. Carefully show if Gina and Taylor would have enough case to buy the car at the end of the year.

    Don't know about the firm mentioned, but at Mall-Wart wages, to get anywhere near the amounts quoted, neither Gina nor Taylor has time for classes.2012-10-18

    Assuming they save the rest, they save $30\%$ of their combined monthly income of $4300$. So take $(12)(4300)(0.30)$. They make it. But can't afford insurance.2012-10-18
