b. $695.00 d. $975.00

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the increase amount

First, find 5% of $650. The formula for percentage increase is $\text{Increase} = \text{Original Amount} \times \text{Percentage}$. So, $650 \times 0.05 = 32.5$.

Step2: Add the increase to the original salary

Now, add the increase to the original weekly salary. So, $650 + 32.5 = 682.5$.

Answer:

A. $682.50
