Answer:

A) Job A pays more.

B) $784 dollars more than job B.

Explanation:

We know that job B Makes $16,400 per year. We just need to find out how much job A makes in a year.

Job A: 8.95 x 40= $358 in a week.

We know that there is 4 weeks in a month and 12 months in a year.

12 x 4 = 48.

48 weeks in a year x $358 in a week= $17,184

We now know that job A pays more than iob B.

In order to find out how much more we will use the formula Job A- Job B= Difference between.

$17,184-$16,400= $784

Job A pays $784 dollars more than job B.
