Answer:

The annual gross income of the server is $52936

Explanation:

The server works four 6-hour shift a week.

the server earns $9.75/h

An average seller sells $1400 in a single shift, and makes 14% tip of a bill.

For the 6-hour shift, the server earns

6 x $9.75 = $58.5 a shift

in a week, the total money made for the four shifts in a week will be

4 x $58.5 = $234

The server makes an average of 14% of a bill, and makes about $1400 in a single shift.

In a single shift he makes a tip of

14% of $1400 = 0.14 x $1400 = $196

in a week he makes 4 x $196 = $784

Total money the server makes in a week is

==> $234 + $784 = $1018

There are 52 weeks in a year.

The server's annual gross income will be

52 x $1018 = $52936
