Answer: 8.5%

Explanation:

The female bank tellers median earnings in 1969 was = US$ 4,190

The male bank tellers median earnings in 1969 was = US$ 3,860

The additional percent that a median female bank teller will earn more than a median male bank teller in 1969 will be:

= Female bank tellers median earnings/Male bank tellers median earnings - 1

We the replace this with real values, we will have:

= (4,190/3,860)- 1

= 1.085 - 1

= 0.085

= 8.5%

Additional percent that a median female bank teller will earn than a median male bank teller in 1969 will be 8.5%
