The projected number of employed writers and authors in 2016 is 153,000. 12.4% of those will have some college experience but no degree, and 84.1% will have a bachelor’s degree or higher. if this holds true, how many more writers and authors with bachelor’s degree will there be than those with only some college experience and no degree?

1. Count 12.4% of 153,000:

153,000 - 100%,

x - 12.4%

Mathematically, you can write proportion:

2. Count 84.1% of 153,000:

153,000 - 100%,

y - 84.1%

3. There will be 128,673 writers and authors with bachelor’s degree and 18,972 writers and authors with some college experience and no degree. Then the difference is

y=1/4x-4
