Number of men with lower incomes
=
25 x 10
= 4
Number of men with higher incomes
= 10 - 4
= 6
Total monthly incomes
= 4 u + 18 u
= 22 u
22 u = 59400
1 u = 59400 ÷ 22 = 2700
Difference between the higher monthly income and the lower monthly income
= 3 u - 1 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 2700
= $5400
Answer(s): $5400
