Answer 1

First, let's calculate Gerry's total salary for 8 weeks of work.

1. **Total Hours Worked**:
- Hours per week = 10
- Total weeks = 8
- Total hours = 10 hours/week × 8 weeks = 80 hours

2. **Total Salary**:
- Hourly pay = $11.50
- Total salary = Total hours × Hourly pay = 80 hours × $11.50 = $920

Now, let's move to the portions that go towards car insurance and gas. However, since those amounts are not directly provided in your question, we will assume these proportions:

- **Car insurance**: Let’s assume 20% goes to car insurance.
- **Gas**: Let’s assume 10% goes to gas.
- **Savings**: The remaining 70% will go to savings.

With these assumptions:

1. **Car Insurance Amount**:
- 20% of $920 = 0.20 × 920 = $184

2. **Gas Amount**:
- 10% of $920 = 0.10 × 920 = $92

3. **Savings Amount**:
- 70% of $920 = 0.70 × 920 = $644

Now we can fill in the blanks with the calculated values:

Gerry will make a total salary of **$920** for eight weeks of work. Of this amount, **$184** will go towards car insurance, **$92** will go towards gas, and **$644** will be left over to put in savings.
