Answer 1

Okay, here are the steps to solve this problem:

* Jen earns a weekly salary of $250

* She gets a 10% bonus on any sales

* In the past 4 weeks, she sold $312 worth of phones and accessories

* 10% of $312 is $31.20

* So in 4 weeks, her bonus would be $31.20 * 4 = $124.80

* Her weekly salary is $250

* So in 4 weeks, her salary would be $250 * 4 = $1000

* Her total income over 4 weeks is $1000 + $124.80 = $1124.80

* The choices are:

** $1,031.20 ** $562.00 ** $312.00 ** $281.20 ** $31.20

So the correct choice is $1,031.20.
