Answer 1

To find out whose salary increased more in absolute terms, we'll calculate the absolute increase for each person.

For Sneezy:

Initial salary = $2500

Final salary = $4522

Sneezy's salary increased by:

Absolute increase = Final salary - Initial salary

Absolute increase = $4522 - $2500 = $2022

For Bombur:

Initial salary = $4000

Final salary = $6700

Bombur's salary increased by:

Absolute increase = Final salary - Initial salary

Absolute increase = $6700 - $4000 = $2700

Now, comparing the absolute increases:

Sneezy's salary increased by $2022.

Bombur's salary increased by $2700.

So, Bombur's salary increased more in absolute terms.
