Answer 1

To calculate the gross income, we need to sum the individual's salary, income from the side job, and rent received from the roommate.

1. **Salary:** $4,000 per month
2. **Side job income:**
- Hourly wage: $20
- Hours per week: 10
- Weeks in a month: 4
- Total side job income for the month = $20 * 10 hours/week * 4 weeks = $800
3. **Rent from roommate:** $1,000 per month

Now add these amounts together to find the total gross income:

\[
\text{Gross income} = \text{Salary} + \text{Side job income} + \text{Rent}
\]
\[
\text{Gross income} = 4,000 + 800 + 1,000 = 5,800
\]

Therefore, the gross income is **$5,800**.

The correct response is:
**$5,800**
