4 The annual median income for a veterinarian
is $82,040. The annual median income for a
veterinarian assistant is $22,040. Over 10 years,
how much more than a veterinarian assistant can a
veterinarian earn?
A $20,000
B $60,000
C $500,000
D $600,000
B $60,000
To find the difference in earnings over 10 years, we need to subtract the total earnings of a veterinarian assistant from the total earnings of a veterinarian.
Total earnings for a veterinarian over 10 years:
$82,040 x 10 = $820,400
Total earnings for a veterinarian assistant over 10 years:
$22,040 x 10 = $220,400
Difference in earnings:
$820,400 - $220,400 = $600,000
So a veterinarian can earn $600,000 more than a veterinarian assistant over 10 years.
