Janet's new weekly salary is $783.

To find Janet's new weekly pay, we first need to determine how many hours she worked during the busy week.

She worked 1 1/4 times her usual hours, which is 40 * 1.25 = 50 hours.

Next, we need to calculate her increased salary by 30.5%.

To do this, we multiply her usual salary by 1 + (30.5/100) = 1.305.

Her new weekly salary is 600 * 1.305 = $783.

The probable question may be:
