Brandon is offered two jobs. One has a starting salary of $32,000 plus a raise of $1,000 every year. The other offers a starting salary of $28,000 plus a raise of $1,800
when the two jobs will have the same salary?

Answer 1

The difference in starting pay:

32,000 - 28,000 = 4,000

The difference in raises:

1,800 -1,000 = 800

Number of years to be the same:

4,000 / 800 = 5

Answer 5 years
