Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

51,200 divided by 52. (52 weeks in a year.) 984.615385 is answer. So each week he gets paid $984.62. So then we multiply that by 3 since we are finding 40% of 3 weeks of pay. $984.62x3= $2953.86. Then we multiply that by 40%.. $2953.86x40%= Answer is $11181.54
