An applicant is paid weekly at $900. What is the gross monthly income?

• A. 3900
• B. 3600
• C. 4200
• D. 4100

Answer: (A)

Converting weekly earnings to monthly gross income uses the intersection of weeks per year and months per year. There are 52 weeks in a year and 12 months in a year, so the monthly factor is 52/12 (about 4.3333). Multiply the weekly pay by this factor: 900 × 52/12 = 900 × 4.3333 ≈ 3,900. Therefore, the gross monthly income is $3,900. Using 4 weeks per month would yield $3,600, but the standard approach uses the 4.3333 weeks-per-month factor for a precise figure.
