Number of men with lower incomes
=
45 x 30
= 24
Number of men with higher incomes
= 30 - 24
= 6
Total monthly incomes
= 24 u + 18 u
= 42 u
42 u = 54600
1 u = 54600 ÷ 42 = 1300
Difference between the higher monthly income and the lower monthly income
= 3 u - 1 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 1300
= $2600
Answer(s): $2600
