Answers
Answer
Juan
first raise = 10%
Second raise = 8%
Pete
first raise = 8%
Second raise = 10%
Let their salary be "100'
Juan salary after raise = 100 * (1 + 0.10) * (1 + 0.08) = 118.8
Pete salary after raise = 100 * (1 + 0.08) * (1 + 0.10) = 118.8
Thus, their both salaries are same because their raise on salary for years is same
