Homework Posting Tips

Please be patient. All tutors are volunteers, and sometimes a tutor may not be immediately available. Please be patient while waiting for a response to your question.

well what is 15 more than r?

it is 15 + r
and it says 15 + r is 61

4^2 = 4*4 = 16

3 * 5 + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16
2*16 = 32
then
16 - 32 = -16

7(10 - 2^3) + 8 / 2
2^3 = 2*2*2 = 8
10 - 8 = 2
7*2 = 14
8/2 = 4
14+4 = 18

no HS diploma high school graduation all households
24, 787 38,976 50,813
bachelor degree professional degree
75, 568 119,825

How many more years would a high school graduate have to work to earn the same amount of money as a person with a bachelor's degree who worked 20 years (to the nearest tenth)?
Responses
A 38.8 years38.8 years
B 22.2 years22.2 years
C 16.4 years16.4 years
D 18.8 years

To answer this question, we need to calculate the total earnings of a person with a bachelor's degree who has worked for 20 years and compare it to the earnings of a high school graduate.

A person with a bachelor's degree who has worked for 20 years would have earned:
$75,568 x 20 = $1,511,360

A high school graduate who earns the same amount would have to work:
$38,976 x n = $1,511,360
n = $1,511,360/$38,976 = 38.8 years (rounded to the nearest tenth)

Therefore, the answer is A - 38.8 years.

Kristi is searching career possibilities. She found that an accountant requires a Bachelor's degree, and the median salary is $61,690 a year. She also found that an insurance agent requires a high school diploma, and the median salary is $46,770 a year. In 10 years, how much more would an accountant earn than an insurance agent?

Responses

The difference in median salary per year is:

$61,690 - $46,770 = $14,920

To find the total difference in earnings over 10 years, we would need to multiply the annual difference by 10:
$14,920 x 10 = $149,200

Therefore, the answer is A - $149,200.
