Answer 1

Answer:

A. $71,087

Step-by-step explanation:

The name jade and Mary contradict each other, let's assume both jade and Mary refers to the same person

Jade receives job benefits of 17.5% of her annual gross pay

Jade has an annual gross pay of $60,500

how much in total job benefits does she receive?

Total job benefits received = 17.5% of $60,500 + $60,500

= (17.5 / 100 * 60,500) + 60,500

= (0.175 * 60,500) + 60,500

= 10,587.5 + 60,500

= $71,087.5

The rounded value closest to the answer in the option is $71,087
