Answer 1

Answer: $277.91

Explanation:

The average of the 2 highest salaried quarters is:

`(\$13,500+\$12,775)/(2)=(\$26,275)/(2)=\$3,137.50`

Divide that by 26 (weeks) to find out her average weekly salary:

`(\$3,137.50)/(26)=\$505.29`

Multiply that by 55% (0.55) to calculate her weekly unemployment benefit:

`\$505.29(0.55)=\$277.908`

Round to the nearest penny --> $277.91
