Answer 1

To calculate Mike's annual salary for each job, we need to consider both the monthly payments and the annual bonuses.

### First Job:
- Monthly salary: $4200
- Annual bonus: $4500

**Annual salary calculation:**
1. Monthly salary for the year: \( 4200 \times 12 = 50400 \)
2. Add the annual bonus: \( 50400 + 4500 = 54900 \)

**Total annual salary for the first job: $54,900.**

### Second Job:
- Monthly salary: $3100
- Monthly rent contribution: $600
- Annual bonus: $500

**Total monthly income for the second job:**
1. Calculate monthly income: \( 3100 + 600 = 3700 \)

**Annual salary calculation:**
1. Monthly income for the year: \( 3700 \times 12 = 44400 \)
2. Add the annual bonus: \( 44400 + 500 = 44900 \)

**Total annual salary for the second job: $44,900.**

### Summary:
- **First job:** $54,900
- **Second job:** $44,900
