Number of men with lower incomes
=
45 x 25
= 20
Number of men with higher incomes
= 25 - 20
= 5
Total monthly incomes
= 20 u + 25 u
= 45 u
45 u = 121500
1 u = 121500 ÷ 45 = 2700
Difference between the higher monthly income and the lower monthly income
= 5 u - 1 u
= 4 u
= 4 x 2700
= $10800
Answer(s): $10800
