Answer:

the final answer of 34,342 USD.

Explanation:

To find the worker's new salary, we need to add 11.5% of her current salary to her current salary.

11.5% of 22,000 GBP can be calculated as follows:

11.5% = 11.5/100 = 0.115

0.115 x 22,000 = 2,530

So the increase in salary is 2,530 GBP. To find the new salary, we add this amount to the current salary:

22,000 + 2,530 = 24,530

Therefore, the worker's new gross salary is 24,530 GBP. To convert this to dollars, we need to multiply by the exchange rate of GBP to USD. Assuming an exchange rate of 1.4 USD/GBP (as of September 2021), we have:

24,530 GBP x 1.4 USD/GBP ≈ 34,342 USD

Rounding this to the nearest dollar, we get the final answer of 34,342 USD.
