Question

For a computer science degree, if you have a bachelor's degree your projected yearly income is $68,103 and if you have a master's degree your projected yearly income is $82,275. If you work for 40 years, how much more will the person with the master's degree earn than the person with the bachelor's degree only?

Answer 1

Answer:

566,880

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to understand what the problem is asking you. It wants you to find the difference between working for 40 years with a master's degree and 40 years with a bachelor's degree.

Next you need to do the math. You can use a calculator since these are pretty large numbers. Enter in the following to find how much you make working 40 years with a bachelor's degree: 68,103 * 40 Once you have calculated that, you should get 2,724,120. Now you need to find how much you earn working 40 years with a master's degree. Enter the following: 82,275 * 40 You should get 3,291,000.

Finally you need to find the difference. Type into your calculator the following: 3,291,000 - 2,724,120 You should end up with 566,880.

Hope this helps!
