received a promotion to a position that earned $2,310 per month. What total gross pay did Clarissa
earn for the year?​

Answer 1

Answer: $27,279

Explanation:

The data is:

Clarissa earned $2,247 per month, in the first 7 months.

After that, she earned $2,310 per month.

What total gross pay did Clarissa earned in one year?

Ok, a year has 12 months, in the first 7 months she earned $2,247 per month, so 7 times $2,247, this is:

7*$2,247 = $15,729

And in the other 12 - 7 = 5 months, she earned $2,310 per month, so 5 times $2,310.

5*$2,310 = $11,550

Adding those togheter:

Total gross = $15,729 + $11,550 = $27,279
