A new homeowner has decided to construct an eight feet privacy fence around their property. The property has rectangular dimensions of 76’ x 241’. The owner has decided to wait and construct the six feet wide and twenty-one feet wide walkway and driveway gates, respectively; thus reducing the overall perimeter of the fence. The fence will be constructed using standard 4” x 4” x 8’ posts, 2” x 4” x 8’ supports, & 1” x 6” x 8’ privacy flanks of treated lumber. The 4” x 4” posts will serve as the vertical supports, and they must be spaced at every seven linear feet along the property perimeter. There must be three 2” x 4” horizontal supports connecting each 4” x 4” vertical post. The one-inch thick privacy flanks by eight feet high are attached orthogonal to the horizontal pieces, and their actual width after wood processing is five and a half inches, not six. Before sales tax, the price of the treated lumber purchases from Home Depot is as follows: 4” x 4” x 8’ posts = $11.48; 2” x 4” x 8’ supports = $5.98; & 1” x 6” x 8’ privacy flanks = $1.98. In addition to the lumber, concrete, hardware, equipment/tools, and misc. items totaled to be $3,935.64 before taxes. If there is a 4.75% NC sales tax , determine many weeks (1 week = 63 hrs) must the homeowner work at their occupation to save up for the cost of the fence. The homeowners earns $7.25/hour (NC min. wage) after taxes and they can only save 10% of their paycheck for their fence. What is your calculated answer most closely to? a. 53 weeks b. 109 weeks c. 604 weeks d. 3105 weeks
