Josh earns
`\$2923` and Sarah earns
`\$186.8`

Given, The annual income of josh is for
`52 weeks = 76000`

Income for biweekly basis i.e,
`(2 weeks)/(14 days)`

Income for 1 week =
`(76000)/(52)= 1461.5`

`1461.5*2 = 2923`

Sarah gets wage per hour =
`\$9.34`

Sarah works for 20 hrs per week =
`20*9.34= 186.8`

The gross pay of Sarah is
`\$186.8`

Answer 2

The correct answer is US$ 2,923.08 for Josh and US$ 186.80 for Sarah

Explanation:

1. Josh

Annual salary = US$ 76,000

Number of weeks in a year = 52

Salary per week = 76,000 / 52

Salary per week = US$ 1,461.54

Bi-weekly salary = 1,461.54 x 2

Bi-weekly salary = US$ 2,923.08

Josh earns US$ 2,923.08 per every period of two weeks

2. Sarah

Wage = US$ 9.34 per hour

Hours per week = 20

Gross salary per week = 9.34 * 20

Gross salary per week = US$ 186.80

Sarah earns US$ 186.80 as gross salary per week
