Given Data:

The salary of Clarissa is : $395 per week

The total amount Clarissa own the employment agency is 20% of the 4 weeks salery.

The total salary of employment agency in four week is,


395*4=1580

Clarissa earn $1580 in her first four week.

The 20% of the $1580 is the amount Clarissa owns the agency.

The 20% of the $1580 is,


\begin{gathered} 1580*(20)/(100)=1580*0.2 \\ =316 \end{gathered}

Thus, Clarissa has to pay $316 to the employment agency.
