Answer 1

Explanation:

Lets translate this word problem into math.

"Latoya's annual salary is $26,000" = We start with the number 26,000

"A total of $7352.24 will be deducted for taxes and health insurance" = It's the number we started with "deducted" (minus) 7352.24

"She will receive her paycheck monthly in 12 equal installments" = Our number will be divided by 12

"How much will she get paid with each paycheck?" = "Find answer pls thx"

To put it all together...

`(26,000-7,352.24)/(12)`

Now all we have to do is solve!

`(26,000-7,352.24)/(12)`

• Subtract.

`(18,647.76)/(12)`

• Divide.

`1,553.98`

Answer:

Latoya will get paid $1,553.98 with each paycheck.
