Answer:

$220,000

Explanation:

Given;

The annual median income for a registered nurse = $65,000

The annual median income for a registered dietitian = $54,000

The difference in the annual income of the registered dietitian from Nurse;

d = 65,000 - 54,000

d = $11,000

In 20 years, the cumulative difference in their earnings is;

Td = 20 × $11,000

Td = $220,000

Therefore, in 20 years the registered nurse will earn $220,000 more than the registered dietitian.
