To calculate the gross income, we need to add up all the sources of income.

  1. Salary: $4,000 per month
  2. Side job income:
    • Hourly wage: $20
    • Hours per week: 10
    • Weeks per month: 4
    • Monthly income from side job: \( 20 , \text{(dollars/hour)} \times 10 , \text{(hours/week)} \times 4 , \text{(weeks/month)} = 800 , \text{dollars} \)
  3. Rent from roommate: $1,000 per month

Now, add them together:

\[ 4,000 , \text{(salary)} + 800 , \text{(side job)} + 1,000 , \text{(rent)} = 5,800 , \text{dollars} \]

Therefore, the gross income is $5,800.

The correct response is:

$5,800
