Answer:

c. $19,813.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Lisa receives a net pay of $619.06 biweekly.

,

• $143 is withheld from her pay each pay period.

We are required to find her annual gross salary.

First, determine her gross salary for each pay period.


\begin{gathered} \text{Gross Salary}=\text{Net Pay+Deduction} \\ =619.06+143 \\ =\$762.06 \end{gathered}

Next, determine the number of payment periods.


\begin{gathered} \text{Lisa is paid biwe}ekly,\text{ that is every 2 weeks.} \\ The\text{ number of weeks in a year}=52 \\ \text{Therefore:} \\ \text{The number of payment periods}=(52)/(2)=26 \end{gathered}

Finally, multiply her gross salary per period by the number of periods to get her annual gross salary.


\begin{gathered} \text{Gross annual salary}=26*762.06 \\ =\$$19,813.56$ \end{gathered}

Lisa's annual gross salary is $19,813.56.

Option C is correct.
