Given :
Median salary of engineer , E = $55,000 .
Median salary of computer engineer , C = $52,000 .
To Find :
The total cost for a business to employ two engineers and three programmers for 1 year .
Solution :
Now , cost of paying two engineers .
[tex]C_e=\$2\times 55000\\\\C_e=\$110000[/tex]
Also , cost of paying three programmers .
[tex]C_p=3\times 52000\\\\C_p=\$156000[/tex]
Therefore , total cost for 1 year is [tex]\$(110000+156000)=\$266000[/tex] .
Hence , this is the required solution .
