Yolanda would like to attend a 12-month program that will certify her as a court reporter. The program costs $8,500 in tuition, fees, and books and will allow her to make about $31,250 a year when she becomes certified. She will not have time to work during the year of training. Assuming she could make $18,000 a year without the
training, how many years will it take her to recoup her investment? years
