How do I estimate a salary?
I tried but I think it might be wrong
Someone earns $389 a week
I have to estimate the salary in 6 months which is 26 weeks.
I multiplied 389 by 26 and got 10,114
Did I do this right?
No.
You're supposed to estimate -- not find the exact amount.

Could my answer be just 10,000?
Yes.
400 * 25 = 10,000
To estimate a salary, you need to consider the amount earned over a specific period and then extrapolate that to estimate the annual salary. Let's break down the steps:
1. Calculate the amount earned for one week: $389
2. Multiply the weekly amount by the number of weeks in 6 months (26 weeks): $389 * 26 = $10,114
Based on your calculations, you correctly estimated the amount earned in six months as $10,114. However, it's important to note that this is just an estimation for a 6-month period, not the annual salary. To estimate the annual salary, you can either double the estimated 6-month salary or make some assumptions based on known factors like regular raises or changes in income throughout the year.
