Answer:

Option D Jennifer will receive $925.51 monthly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jennifer is now retiring after 35 years of service as a high school English teacher.

Over the past 35 years Jennifer's average annual salary = $26,443

Jennifer expect to receive annually = 42% of her average annually

Now we calculate 42% of her annual salary

Therefore, 42% of $26,443 = [tex]\frac{42}{100}[/tex] × 26,443

= 0.42 × 26,443 = $11,106.06 annually

Now we divide this amount from 12 to get his  monthly receiving

= 11,106.06 ÷ 12 = $925.505 rounded to $925.51

Jennifer will receive $925.51 monthly basis from Social Security.
