d. $750
d. $1,200

Answer 1

b. $1,450

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided as per the question

Winnings in slot = $250

Winnings in poker = $1,200

The computation of gross income is shown below:-

Total amount in Gross Income = Winnings in slot + Winnings in poker

= $250 + $1,200

= $1,450

Therefore for computing the total amount in gross income we simply add winning in slot with winning in poker.
