B. $1,680
C. $2,403
D. $2,511
E. $2,791

D. $2,511

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, we need to write down the facts we know.

There are about 52.177 weeks in a year

Cesar works 28 hours each week

Cesar makes $23 an hour

There are 12 months in a year

Cesar has $3,360 after his monthly expenses

To figure out how many hours are in a "work year," multiply the number of work hours in a week by the number of weeks in a year. In other words, multiply Cesar's 28 hour work week by about 52.177 weeks. That makes 1,456 hours in his work year. That means he makes $33,492 a year. If you multiply $2,511 by the months in a year (12), you get $30132. Finally, subtract his annual salary by $30132 to get $3,360, which is what was left of Cesar's earnings after paying all of his monthly expenses.
