work + solution

Explanation:

Step1: Determine total weeks in summer

Jason worked 12 weeks in summer. A month has 4 weeks, so first find how many months are in 12 weeks. Number of months = \( \frac{12}{4}=3 \) months.

Step2: Calculate monthly pay

Total summer earnings are $2,964 for 3 months. To find monthly pay, divide total earnings by number of months: \( \text{Monthly pay} = \frac{2964}{3} \)

Step3: Compute the division

\( \frac{2964}{3}=988 \)

Answer:

Jason was paid $988 every month.
