How many years does it take to earn 1,000,000 dollars if you are paid $30 an hour and work 35 hours a week for 50 weeks a year

First, we do 30 dollars per 1 hour times 35 hours per 1 week.

30*35 = 1050 dollars per 1 week

now, we do 1050 dollars per 1 week times 50 weeks per 1 year.

1050*50 = 52500 dollars per 1 year

finally, we divide 52500 dollars per 1 year by 1,000,000 dollars earned overall and we get the fraction

400/21

that doesn't come out to an exact decimal, so we get either

400/21 years or the rounded decimal of

19.0476 years

so, approximately 19 years.
