We know that she preforms 7 speeches a week, there are 1500 people, and $30.00 a ticket. The cost to her is $65,000 a week and she wants to make $917,000 a year.
7(1500×30)-65,000/917,000
7(1500x30)=315,000 now we take the 315,000 - 65,000 and are left with $250,000, all is left is to divide 917,000 into 250,000
and we are left with 3.668 weeks.
