Question

karen is pediatrician at the local doctor office. her annual salary is $238.540. what is her Semimonthly pay?

Answer 1

hello

to solve this quesion, we need to first understand what semimonthly means.

semimonthly is the same as bimonthly or twice in a month.

so Karen's pay in twice a month is?

in a year, we have 12 months and 24semimonthly pay.

i.e 12 * 2 = 24 semimonthly

let her payment be represented by x

`x=(238.540)/(24)=9.939\approx9.94`

her semimothly pay is $9939.17
