Answer : Jeannine Jacoby's new salary is $44,444.

We follow these steps to arrive at the answer:

Since Jeannie is a level 3 web designer, her salary is $41,000.

Cost-of-living increase = 3.2%

`Cost-of-living increase in dollars = 1312 (41000 * 0.032)`

Merit increase = 5.2%

`Merit increase in dollars = 2132 (41000 * 0.052)`

`New salary = Old salary + Cost-of-living increase + Merit increase`

`New Salary = 44,444 (41000 + 1312 +2132)`
