Question

Female bankers earn $4190, male bankers earn $3860. How much more did female bankers earn than male bankers as a percentage of median earnings?

Answer 1

$330 more that the male bankers

Answer 2

For this case we have to:

The female bankers earn $ 4190

The male bankers earn $ 3860

The difference in salaries is:

$4190-3860 = 330$

So:

To know the percentage, we make a rule of three:

4190 -----------> 100%

330 -------------> x

Where "x" represents the percentage of earnings that the female bankers earn more than from male bankers.

$x = \frac {330 * 100} {4190}$

$x = 7.88$%

Answer:

$ 330

7.88%
