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.
