    f (x) = 65,000 (1.05) ^5 and f (x) = 68,000 (1.03) ^5

    f (x) = 82,958.30 f (x) = 78,830.64

    You will want to work for Pitting Olives, because the annual increase is higher meaning in the long run you will make more money than if you worked at Whole Olives, even if the starting salary is less.
