Answer:

RN = registered nurse

LPN = licensed practice nurse

RN earns $21.50 per hr

LPN earns $14 per hr

To calculate earnings for a 40 hour working week, multiply the rate per hour by 40:

RN earns: 21.50 × 40 = $860 per week

LPN earns: 14 × 40 = $560 per week

Difference: 860 - 560 = $300

Therefore, an RN is paid $300 more than an LPN for a 40 hour working week.

Number of weeks in a (non leap) year = number of days in a year ÷ 7

= 365 ÷ 7

= 52.14285714...

Rounding to the nearest whole number ⇒ 52 weeks in a year

To calculate the yearly salary, multiply the rate per week by 52:

RN earns: 860 × 52 = $44720 per year

LPN earns: 560 × 52 = $29120 per year

Difference: 44720 - 29120 = $15600

OR we can simply multiply the difference between the amount paid for a 40 hour week by 52:

⇒ 300 × 52 = $15600

Therefore, an RN is paid $15600 per year than an LPN.
