Given:

Annual Pay of job in stereo store = 34.6K

Now K here means (1000).

So we can say that;

Annual Pay of job in stereo store =
`\$34.6* 1000= \$34600`

Also Given:

Weekly salary of Job at clothing store = $620

We need to find which job is the higher-paying job.

Solution:

First we will find the weekly salary of job in stereo store.

Now we know that there are 52 weeks in a year.

So weekly salary of job in stereo store can be calculated by Annual Pay of job in stereo store divided by total number of weeks.

framing in equation form we get;

weekly salary of job in stereo store =
`(34600)/(52)=\$665.38`

Now we see that weekly salary of job in stereo store is greater than Weekly salary of Job at clothing store.

Hence Stereo Store Job is highest paying Job.

Now we need to find the difference in the weekly salaries of these two jobs.
