C) $1694.68

Step-by-step explanation:

Keisha made $1083.34 and $1033.34 of them are subject to 18% income tax. The tax will be: $1033.34 * 18% = $186.

The amount of money Keisha take home in two weeks will be:

income - insurance - tax = $1083.34 - $50 - $186 = $847.34

The amount of money Keisha take home in four weeks will be two times of two weeks take home pay. The calculation will be : 2 x $847.34 = $1694.68
