Question $31(3$ points$)$

Currently the U$.$S$.$ Olympic Committee $($USOC$)$ pays Olympic athletes $$25,000$

for each gold medal, $$15,000$ for a silver medal, and $$10,000$ for a bronze

medal. Since $1960,$ the Paralympics for disabled athletes has been a part of the

Olympic Games, yet the USOC pays disabled athletes only $10$ percent of what

the Olympic athletes are paid, and Paralympic athletes are not allowed to

participate in opening ceremonies. Paralympic athletes are angry at being

treated unfairly. What kind of inequity are the Paralympic athletes

experiencing?
