Answer 2

$95,160

Step-by-step explanation:

The total employment compensation of an individual is the gross pay that they are receiving as well as the value of all of the benefits that they are receiving from employment. Then you would need to discount job expenses. In this scenario, after the increase in pay, Nika's gross pay is now $78,000. If her employee benefits are 22% of the gross pay then they would be

78,000 * 0.22 = 17,160

Now we add the value of her employee benefits to her gross pay in order to calculate her total employment compensation

78,000 + 17,160 = $95,160
