13/8 is already an improper fraction
In this problem, since we are trying to find Sam's monthly net income, we just need to multiply his weekly net income (which is after all the deductions come out) by how many times he gets paid! Because he gets paid 4 times, we just need to multiply $654.48 by 4! The you should get an answer of $2617.92, which is Sam's monthly net income!

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
Number of 12$ Shares? 25
Number of 14$ Shares? 57
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = number of $12 shares.
Let y = number of $14 shares.
"Ivan has $1098 worth of $12 and $14 stock shares."
12x + 14y = 1098
The number of $14 shares is seven more than twice the number of $12 shares.
y = 2x + 7
We have a system of equations.
12x + 14y = 1098
y = 2x + 7
We can use the substitution method since the second equation is already solved for y. Substitute 2x + 7 for y in the first equation.
12x + 14(2x + 7) = 1098
12x + 28x + 98 = 1098
40x = 1000
x = 25
There are 25 $12 shares.
y = 2x + 7 = 2(25) + 7 = 57
There are 57 $14 shares.
Check:
25 × $12 + 57 × $1`4 = $300 + $798 = $1098
The total value is correct, so the answer is correct.
