Answer 1

Answer:

By continuing my education I increased my earning potential from $21,484 to $39,746 a year. That's a difference of $18262 a year.

If the additional education costs $18,000, then in one year it will pay for itself.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is 1 year.

Step-by-step explanation:

You increased your yearly earning potential from $21,484 to $39,746.

The difference is : $39746-21484=18262$ dollars
