Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

Using the clues given in the image, we can solve the logic problems as follows:

1. From clue 1, we know that Madison is either a programmer, a banker or a chemist.

2. From clue 2, we know that the programmer earns $44,700. Therefore, Alyssa and John cannot be the programmer.

3. From clue 3, we know that the banker earns more than the chemist. Therefore, Madison cannot be the chemist.

4. From clue 4, we know that Alyssa is either a programmer or a writer.

5. From clue 5, we know that the banker earns $53,600. Therefore, Madison is the banker.

6. From clue 6, we know that the chemist earns $42,200. Therefore, Christopher is the chemist.

7. From clue 7, we know that Madison earns more than the writer. Therefore, John cannot be the banker or the chemist.

8. From clue 8, we know that the programmer earns more than the chemist. Therefore, John is not the programmer.

9. From clue 9, we know that the writer does not earn $53,600. Therefore, Alyssa is the programmer and John is the writer.

10. From clue 10, we know that Christopher is either a programmer or a writer. However, we already know that Alyssa is the programmer, so Christopher must be the writer.

11. From clue 11, we know that John is not a banker or a programmer. Therefore, John is the writer.

12. From clue 12, we know that the writer earns more than the programmer. Therefore, John earns $48,100 and Alyssa earns $44,700.

Therefore:

- Madison is the banker and earns $53,600.

- Alyssa is the programmer and earns $44,700.

- Christopher is the writer and earns $53,600.

- John is the chemist and earns $48,100.
