Answer 1

To calculate gross monthly pay from gross weekly earnings, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Gross Monthly Pay} = \text{Gross Weekly Earnings} \times \text{Number of Weeks in a Month}
\]

The average number of weeks in a month is approximately 4.33 (since a year has 52 weeks and 12 months, 52/12 ≈ 4.33).

So,

\[
\text{Gross Monthly Pay} = 289 \times 4.33
\]

Now performing the calculation:

\[
\text{Gross Monthly Pay} = 289 \times 4.33 \approx 1,252.37
\]

So, the closest response is **$1,252.33**.
