Number of men with lower incomes
=
35 x 10
= 6
Number of men with higher incomes
= 10 - 6
= 4
Total monthly incomes
= 6 u + 12 u
= 18 u
18 u = 34200
1 u = 34200 ÷ 18 = 1900
Difference between the higher monthly income and the lower monthly income
= 3 u - 1 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 1900
= $3800
Answer(s): $3800
