Question

If a basketball player has an annual of $2,300,000 and a hockey player has an annual of $1,640,000

How much of the basketball player’s annual salary is higher than the hockey player’s salary?

Explain:

Answer 1

Explanation:

We must calculate the proportion between both salaries

Just divide the annual of the basketball player between the hockey player's

`P=(2,300,000)/(1,600,000)=1.4375`

It means that the annual of the basketball player is 1,4375 times the salary of the Hockey player.

In case you want to express it porcentually, just multiply it by 100 and substract 100.

(1,4375*100)-100 = 43,75%

So, The salary of the basketball player is 43,75% higher than hockey player's
