We are asked to calculate the weekly salary of Ron, we are given his yearly salary. We know that there are 52 paychecks if the salary if weekly, therefore we must divide the annual salary over 52 to convert the annual salary into a weekly salary, like this:


\text{Weekly salary = }\frac{\text{annual salary}}{52}
weekly\text{ salary = }(42,300)/(52)=8,460
