A student has a savings account earning 12% simple interest. She must pay $1250 for first-semester tuition by September 1 and $1250 for second-semester tuition by January 1. How much must she earn in the summer (by September 1) to pay the first-semester bill on time and still have the remainder of her summer earnings grow to $1250 between September 1 and January 1? We know that the interest rate as a decimal is r = _____0.12___ and the amount of time is t = ____________years.
