Let's start by figuring out how much Devin spent on nonbank ATM withdrawals. Since each withdrawal costs $1.75 and he made 3 withdrawals, he spent 3 x $1.75 = $5.25 on nonbank ATM fees.

We know that he paid a total of $8.25 in fees, and we just figured out that $5.25 of that was from nonbank ATM fees. This means that the rest, $8.25 - $5.25 = $3, was from debit card transactions.

We also know that each debit card transaction costs $0.30. To figure out how many times Devin used his debit card, we can divide the total debit card fees by the cost per transaction: $3 ÷ $0.30 = 10.

Therefore, Devin used his debit card 10 times last month. The answer is D) 10.

If the surgeon and the pharmacist each worked 30 years, how much more money
does the surgeon make in lifetime income?

A $1,154,620
B $924,720
C $3,467,700
D $115,590
Surgeon:
Annual Income = $360,000
30-year Lifetime Income = $360,000 x 30 = $10,800,000

Pharmacist:
Annual Income = $120,000
30-year Lifetime Income = $120,000 x 30 = $3,600,000

Difference in Lifetime Earnings (Surgeon - Pharmacist) = $10,800,000 - $3,600,000 = $7,200,000

Therefore, the surgeon makes $7,200,000 more in lifetime income than the pharmacist. Answer: C
