Answer 1

Answer:  $277.91

Step-by-step explanation:

The average of the 2 highest salaried quarters is:

$\dfrac{\ 13,500+\ 12,775}{2}=\dfrac{\ 26,275}{2}=\ 3,137.50$

Divide that by 26 (weeks) to find out her average weekly salary:

$\dfrac{\ 3,137.50}{26}=\ 505.29$

Multiply that by 55% (0.55) to calculate her weekly unemployment benefit:

$\ 505.29(0.55)=\ 277.908$

Round to the nearest penny --> $277.91
