Answer:

$603.77

Explanation:

if they work 22 hours a week

and once a week they make $359

therefore divide to get the hourly rate

359/22 = 16.3181818182

they make 16.3181818182 per hour

then we have to multiply the hourly by the hours worked

16.3181818182 * 37 = 603.772727273

since this is in dollars ($) we round to the second decimal place (hundredths)

meaning we cut off the numbers after it

603.77â•‘2727273

then, determine if the thousandths place is equal to or greater than five or less than five

since it is a 2 then the 7 stays the same

if it were a 5 or greater we would round up, making the 7 in the hundredth place turn into an 8.

therefore your answer is $603.77

hope this helps:)
