Answer 1

Answer: Job 2 is a better choice because it will have a salary and benefits worth $20,500 more than job 1.

Explanation: The answers below are wrong. I solved the answer correct, but chose the answers on here and got it wrong.

You are suppose to multiply the Average Rent & Utilities by 12. Take that answer and divide it by the salary.

Seattle, WA

EX: 1,350*12= 16,200

78,00 - 16,200= 61,800

Answer 2

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Job 1

Annual Income+ Benefits- (annual housing & utility cost)

78,000+4,000-( 1,350*12)= 65,800

Job 2

Annual Income+ Benefits- (annual housing & utility cost)

100,000+2,500-( 3,150*12)= 64,700

Therefore, job 1 is a better choice
