Question

Sherry is paid an annual salary of $26,000 biweekly. Her friend Donna makes the same salary but is paid quarterly. How much more money does one of Donna's checks have than Sherry's.

Answer 1

5500

Explanation:

Answer 2

5000

Explanation:

Assuming they both work 365days

roughly 52 weeks

number of time sherry is paid per year =
`(52)/(2) = 26`

because she is paid every two weeks

number of time donna is paid per year =
`4`

because she is paid 4 times a year (quarterly)

let s = amount sherry is paid biweekly

let d = amount donna is paid quarterly

`s = (26000)/(26) = 1000\\\\d = (26000)/(4) = 6500\\\\difference = 65000 - 1000 = 5000\\`
