Paul return is 200*%2.2=  $4.4 in a year.

Monica is incorrect. Paul will earn $4.40 in 1 year and Monica will earn $3.40 in 1 year

100×0.34 = 3.40 and 200×0.22 = 4.40

22 and 22

step-by-step explanation:

10 plus 12 equals 22.

12 plus 10 also equals 22 because regardless of what order they're in, they're gonna equal the same thing.
