    Mark's money after a year = $19000 + 2.6% of $19000 * 1

    = $19000 + (2.6/100) * $19000

    = $19000 + 2.6 * $190

    = $19000 + $494

    = $19494

    Walter's money after a year = $19000 + 5.5% of $19000 * 1

    = $19000 + (5.5/100) * $19000

    = $19000 + 5.5 * $190

    = $19000 + $1045

    = $20045

    Difference between their money = $20045 - $19494

    = $551

    Therefore, Walter has $551 more than Mark
