Answer 1

To compare the lifetime income of Donnelle and Damien, we can calculate the total income each earns over 42 years of work.

Donnelle: $48,000/year x 42 years = $2,016,000
Damien: $50,000/year x 42 years = $2,100,000

To find the difference in their lifetime income:
$2,100,000 - $2,016,000 = $84,000

Therefore, Damien makes $84,000 more in his lifetime than Donnelle.

The answer is B) Damien makes $84,000 more.
