Let's solve this step-by-step.

Task:

Axel's paycheck will increase by 22% next year. We need to calculate approximately how much he should expect to earn, using the information in the table.

Steps:

1. Find the average of the current paychecks: We need to sum all the paychecks and divide by the number of checks to get the average.

2. Increase this average by 22%: Multiply the average by $1 + 0.22 = 1.22$.

3. Choose the closest value from the provided options.

Let's start by calculating the total of Axel's paychecks over the year. I'll sum them and find the average, then apply the 22% increase.The expected paycheck for Axel next year, after a 22% increase, is approximately $330.98.

The closest value from the options is $331.08.
