Answer: $27,279
Step-by-step explanation:
The data is:
Clarissa earned $2,247 per month, in the first 7 months.
After that, she earned $2,310 per month.
What total gross pay did Clarissa earned in one year?
Ok, a year has 12 months, in the first 7 months she earned $2,247 per month, so 7 times $2,247, this is:
7*$2,247 = $15,729
And in the other 12 - 7 = 5 months, she earned $2,310 per month, so 5 times $2,310.
5*$2,310 = $11,550
Adding those togheter:
Total gross = $15,729 + $11,550 = $27,279
