Helen's salary increased more.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Clint's salary increased from $24000 to $36000 over a three-year period.

So the increase in Clint's salary will be = 36000 - 24000 = $12000

While Helen's salary increased from $29000 to $43, 500 over the same period of 3 years.

So the increase in Helen's salary will be = 43500 - 29000 = $14500

Therefore, in absolute terms, Helen's salary has increased more.
