Question 1190441: women earned 82 cents for every dollar earned by men in 2021. This is true when comparing the amount earned from white women to white men. However, the pay gap differs when considering other races and ethnic groups. In 2021, American Indian and Alaska Native women earned 69 cents to every dollar earned by white men; Hispanic and Pacific Islander women earned 76 cents to every dollar earned by white men; Black or African American women earned 77 cents to every dollar earned by white men; Asian women earned 95 cents to every dollar earned by white men.
Use the information above to set up functions to calculate the expected pay for American Indian/Alaska Native women, for Black/African American women, and for Asian women based on the pay of a white man. If the average white man was found to earn $20,000 in a rural area, $50,000 in a suburban area, and $80,000 in an urban area, use the functions you created to calculate the expected women’s pay for each ethnic group in each location.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
here's your table.


since the ratios are xxx to 1, then all you do is multiply the white man's pay by xxx.
for example, white woman ratio is .82 to 1.
you just multiply what the white man makes by .82 and you get what the white woman makes.
the table does that for all ethnic groups and all white man's pay.

let me know if you have any questions.
