Mike is saving up to buy a house. He puts away 10% of his $150,000 a year salary. He needs to save up 20% of the cost of a $450,000 house for a downpayment. How long will it take?

How much does Mike save? ** He saves 150,000*.1=$<<150000*.1=15000>>15,000 per year
How much does Mike need? ** He needs 450,000*.2=$<<450000*.2=90000>>90,000
How long will it take? ** So he needs to save for 90,000/15,000=<<90000/15000=6>>6 years
