Question

Brenda Ortiz earns $18,200 per year. Find her semimonthly salary

Answer 1

Semi monthly salary are paid twice a month, since the year has twelve months then the total number of semi monthly salaries she'll recieve is:

`\text{n = 12}\cdot2\text{ = 24}`

She'll receive 24 salaries in a year. To calculate the value of each salary we need to divide the total amount she earns in a year by 24.

`\text{semimonthly = }(18200)/(24)\text{ = }758.34`

Her semi monthly salary is $758.34.
