Median weekly Salary with Associate-degree = $757
Associate-degree holder actual earning = (0.80)($757)=$605.6
Median weekly Salary with Bachelor-degree = $1012
Bachelor-degree holder actual earning = (1.25)($1012)=$1265
Change in Median weekly salary = $1265−$605.6=$659.4
Don't forget to multiply by 52, to get the Median Annual Salary;
i.e. (52)($659.4)=$34288.8
Approx. $34300
Hence, option D
