They earn the same amount $14,311 in this sexist world.
In a non sexist world,
the boy gets $5724.40
and the girl gets $22897.60
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the annual salary is 28622.
the girl works 4 days out of the week and the boy works 1 day out of the week.
since there are 5 days in a work week, then the girl works 4/5 of the time and the boy works 1/5 of the time.
this ratio stays the same throughout the year.
therefore the girl earns 4/5 * 28622 and the boy earns 1/5 * 28622.
the girls earns 22897.6 for the year.
the boy earns 5724.4 for the year.
the total earned is 22897.6 + 5724.4 = 28622.
