Question

Diona is o kindergarten teacher. Her annual solory is $51,605. Whot is her biweekly pay? (HINT: there are 52 weeks in a yeor, and if you are poid biweekly, you are paid every other week).

Answer 1

annual salary = $51,605

we have 52 weeks in a year

`\begin{gathered} 52\text{weeks}=51,605 \\ 2\text{weeks}=x \end{gathered}`

note: biweekly is equivalent to 2 weeks

now, let's cross multiply both sides and solve for x

`\begin{gathered} 52=51605 \\ 2=x \\ 52* x=51605*2 \\ 52x=103,210 \end{gathered}`

divide both sides by 52 to solve for x

`\begin{gathered} 52x=103210 \\ (52x)/(52)=(103210)/(52) \\ x=1984.808 \end{gathered}`

the approximate biweekly pay is $1984.81
