Rhys Logan · Answer 2

Both last 4 months.

Job B = $412.50per/week

Job A = $1600per/month

1650*1.1 = 1815 Month 2's paycheck

1815*1.1 = 1996.5 Month's 3 Paycheck

1996.5*1.1 = 2196.15 Month 4's paycheck

1600*4 = $6400 Job A total

1650+1815+1996.5+2196.15 = $7657.65 Job B total

7657.65-6400 = 1257.65

$1257.65 more thant Job A
