Depends

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to see which annual salary is higher, we must calculate the annual salary of B to compare to A. To do this, if B offers $18.00 an hour for 40 hours a week, that's $720 a week. Now to convert this to annual, multiply the weekly earnings by the 52 weeks in a year. Employer B offers $720 * 52 weeks = $37,440 annually. Assuming you didn't have a typo, $350,000 is $312,560 greater meaning A pays more. If you did have a typo, and meant that Employer A offered $35,000, then Employer B would pay more.
