Answer 1

$62,342 is the salary earned by Ava.

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1 :

Xavier's salary = $42,700

                    = 146% of Xavier salary

step 3 :

Ava is earning a salary = (146/100)$\times$42,700

                                      = 146 $\times$ 427

                                      = 62,342

∴ Ava is earning a salary of $62,342.
