Question

Kevin is looking for a job as a graphic designer. One ad lists a job that pays 64.6K. Another job he found has a weekly salary of $1,120. What is the difference in the weekly salaries of these two jobs? Round to the nearest dollar.

Answer 1

The difference between the two weekly salaries is $122

Explanation:

One job pays $64,600 per year. Since there are 52 weeks in a year, the weekly salary for this job is the quotient: $64600/52 = $1242.31 which rounded to the nearest dollar gives: $1242 per week

The other job pays $1120 per week. Therefore the difference in weekly salary for the two is:

$1242 - $1120 = $122
