A)1.2B)1.4C)1.6D)1.8

Answer 1

The correct answer is B) 1.4
It can be difficult to become a high earner in the U.S without a college degree. Those with a high school diploma or less are the lowest earners on average. According to research, average yearly earnings for someone with a bachelor’s degree are $59,124 as compared to someone with a high school diploma who earns an average of $35,256 per year. Thus, at the end of the day, the amount of money does become significant.
