The answers
$52,000
$46,800
$55,500
$36,500
And your answer is?
$55,500?
or $52,000?
Both of these are too high.
46,800
am I correct?
Yes. 46,800 is a reasonable estimate.
50*900 = 45000
50*20 = 1000
so 46,000 + 2 weeks = 48,000
a bit less because we used 920 instead of 919
so yes, pick 46,800
To estimate the clerk's yearly salary, we can multiply the weekly salary by the number of weeks in a year, which is 52.
The clerk earns $919 per week, so the calculation would be:
$919/week * 52 weeks/year = $47,788/year
Therefore, the estimated yearly salary for the clerk would be $47,788.
