Asap math question will be marked box options in order: sharla, paul

Hi, I believe the answer is In the last year, Paul earned $2,000 more.

Figuring out Paul's tenth year salary looks like this:

30,000 (base salary) + 10 (number of years) x 2,800 (yearly increase) should get you 58,000.

Figuring Sharla's tenth year salary looks like this:

36,000 (base salary) + 10 (number of years) x 2,000 (yearly increase) gets you 56,000.

58,000 - 56,000 is 2,000.

Hope this helps! :)

10% of increase is the final answer! : )
