Question

Sarah is paid biweekly. Her annual salary is $33,000.

1. What is her biweekly salary, rounded to the nearest
cent?

Answer 1

$1269.23

Explanation:

Since Sarah is paid biweekly (every 2 weeks), and there are 52 weeks in a year...

`52` ÷
`2=26`

Sarah is being paid 26 weeks out of the year.

Divide 33,000 by 26 (I only list 4 places after the decimal):

`33000` ÷
`26=1269.2307`

Round 1269.2307 to the nearest cent (hundredth):

`1269.23`
