Question

The average salary for a house painter is $35,190 per year. An engineer makes on average $80,000. If you consider the earning potential of both over a 30 year period, what is the difference between the painter's earnings as compared to the engineer's wages? $2,364,810 $975,700 $44,810 $1,344,300

Answer 1

Answer:

1,344,300

35,190 × 30 = 1,055,700

80,000 × 30 = 2,400,000

2,400,000 - 1,055,700 = 1,344,300
