A worker has four different job offers, each with a contract for six years. Assuming the job descriptions are identical, which offer will allow the worker to earn the most over six years?

Treat the starting salary as the first year's pay, then apply the annual increase for each of the next five years. For choice C, the six salaries are about $48,000, $50,880, $53,933, $57,174, $60,599, and $64,235, totaling about $334,821. That is more than the six-year total for any of the other offers, so the $48,000 starting salary with a 6% annual increase earns the most.
