Answer 1

From the question;

Terry earns $22,500 annually

Snce there are 52 weeks in a year

Then

Terry earns $22,500 in 52 week

If she is paid biweekly, this means she is paid every two week

Hence in 52 weeks she will be paid

`(52)/(2)=26\text{ times}`

Therefore the pay check for each biweekly payment will be

`\frac{22,500^{}}{26}=865.385`

Hence, the total amount for each biweekly paycheck will be $865.38
