9. The annual median income for a registered
nurse is $65,000. The annual median income for a
registered dietitian is $54,000. Over 20 years, how
much more than a registered dietitian can a
registered nurse earn?
A $11,000 C $220,000
B $44,000 D $350,000
The difference in annual median incomes is $65,000 - $54,000 = $11,000.
To find the total difference in earnings over 20 years, we multiply this by the number of years:
$11,000/ year x 20 years = $220,000
Therefore, the answer is C) $220,000.
