Neither. Juanʹs and Peteʹs final salaries are equal since
(y × 110%) × 108% = (y × 108%) × 110%. For example, if the original salary of each
$100,000, Juanʹs first raise will give him a salary of $110,000, while his second raise
will increase his salary to $118,800. Peteʹs first raise will give him a salary of
$108,000, while his second raise will increase his salary to $118,800. (Explanations
will vary.)

Solve the problem. -Ben drove his car 734 kilometers in 5 hours while he was on vacation in Italy. He was trying to estimate how far he could drive in 8 hours the next day so he set up the following proportion: 7345=8x\frac { 734 } { 5 } = \frac { 8 } { x }

This proportion will not give him the correct answer because it is set up incorrectly.
The numerators and denominators do not correspond. The correct proportion is 7345=x8\frac { 734 } { 5 } = \frac { x } { 8 }
