Answer:

$85,461.32

Explanation:

The beginning mean bi-weekly wage in a certain industry is $3,156.00. If the mean bi-weekly wage grows by 4.15%, what is the new mean annual wage?

$82,056.00

$85,461.32

$89,079.13

$87,058.81

$3,156 × (1 + % increase) = new bi-weekly wage

$3,156 × 1.0415 = $3,286.974

there are 52 weeks in a year so there are 26 bi-weekly payments per year:

$3,286.974 × 26 = $85,461.324
