Answer 1

You only need one instance of scanner, and you should save the user input to a variable.

public static void main(String[] args)
{
    System.out.println("Enter HOurly Pay :");
    Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
    double hrlyPay = scanner.nextDouble();
    
    System.out.println("Enter Hours Per week :");
    double hrsPerWeek = scanner.nextDouble();
    
    double income = calculateGrossIncome( hrsPerWeek, hrlyPay);
    System.out.println("The employee toatl gross income is " + income);
   
}
