D) $23,400 ***
Correct
It is $23,400
To find the best estimate of John's yearly earnings, we need to consider both pay stubs.
First, let's calculate John's yearly earning from his weekly job. Since there are 52 weeks in a year, we can multiply his weekly earnings by 52:
$235.23 * 52 = $12,198.96
Next, let's calculate John's yearly earning from his monthly job. Since there are 12 months in a year, we can multiply his monthly earnings by 12:
$935.40 * 12 = $11,224.80
Now, let's add both yearly earnings together to find John's total yearly earnings:
$12,198.96 + $11,224.80 = $23,423.76
Therefore, the BEST estimate of John's yearly earnings is D) $23,400.
To find the best estimate of John's yearly earnings, we need to calculate his annual income by considering both his weekly and monthly earnings from his two jobs.
First, let's calculate his yearly earnings from the job that pays him weekly. To do this, multiply his weekly earnings by the number of weeks in a year. We assume there are 52 weeks in a year.
$235.23 x 52 = $12,218.96
Next, let's calculate his yearly earnings from the job that pays him monthly. To do this, multiply his monthly earnings by the number of months in a year. We assume there are 12 months in a year.
$935.40 x 12 = $11,224.80
Now, let's add both yearly earnings together to get an estimate of John's total yearly earnings.
$12,218.96 + $11,224.80 = $23,443.76
Therefore, the best estimate of John's yearly earnings is approximately $23,400.
The correct answer is D) $23,400.
