Answer:

After five years, Jenny has an annual salary of $137,008.67

the difference of Donald’s and Jenny’s salaries is $17,791.77

Step-by-step explanation:

Jenny's annual salary =[tex]A = 100000(1.065)^t[/tex]

Donald's annual salary = [tex]A=85000(1.07)^t[/tex]

We need to find out annual salary for Jenny after 5 years

Here 't' represents the number of years

So we plug in 5 for t and find out A

Jenny's annual salary =[tex]A = 100000(1.065)^t[/tex]

[tex]A = 100000(1.065)^5=137008.6663415625= 137008.67[/tex]

After five years, Jenny has an annual salary of $137,008.67

Now we find annual salary for Donald after 5 years

So we plug in 5 for t and find out A

Donald annual salary =[tex]A = 85000(1.07)^t[/tex]

[tex]A = 85000(1.07)^5=119216.8971095= 119216.90[/tex]

To find the difference of Donald and Jenny salary we subtract

Jenny's salary - Donald's salary after 5 years

137,008.67 - 119,216.90= 17791.77

the difference of Donald’s and Jenny’s salaries is $17,791.77
