Answer:

The annual salary earned by the girl = $22,921.6

and

the annual salary earned by the boy = $5,730.4

Explanation:

Given:

The girl works on Mondays , Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays

i.e the girl works 4 days a week

while,

The boy works on Thursdays i.e only 1 day a week

now,

the total working days in a week = 5

thus,

The girl works [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] times a week

and

boy works [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] times a week

that also means

The girl works [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] times annually

and

boy works [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] times annualy

hence,

the annual salary earned by the girl = [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] times the annual salary

= [tex]\frac{4}{5}\times28,652[/tex] = $22,921.6

and

the annual salary earned by the boy = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] times the annual salary

= [tex]\frac{1}{5}\times28,652[/tex] = $5,730.4
