In this problem, since we are trying to find Sam's monthly net income, we just need to multiply his weekly net income (which is after all the deductions come out) by how many times he gets paid! Because he gets paid 4 times, we just need to multiply $654.48 by 4! The you should get an answer of $2617.92, which is Sam's monthly net income!
