Answer:

the difference is about travel expenses

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the fact that Zach must travel out of his state once a week, surely he should have extra expenses such as transportation, a place to stay, insurance expenses, food and others. This is why his salary is higher than Jake´s who does not have to travel out of the state.
