To find out how much higher the Dodgers' payroll was compared to the Astros, we simply need to subtract the Astros' payroll from the Dodgers' payroll:
$2.16 × 10^8 - $2.4 × 10^7 = $2.16 × 10^8 - $0.24 × 10^8 = $1.92 × 10^8
Therefore, the Dodgers' opening day payroll was $192,000,000 higher than the Astros' opening day payroll.
1. In 2013 the Los Angeles Dodgers opening day payroll was about $2.16 × 10^8 and the Houston Astros opening day
