Answer 2

Answer:

$31.07

Step-by-step explanation:

Miss blue gets the weekly salary check = $478.

Her employer contributes to retirement annuity = 6.5%

Her annual salary = 478 × 52 = $24,856

Her employer's contribution = 6.5% of 24,856

                                               = 0.065 × 24,856

                                               = $1615.64 annually

weekly contribution              = 1615.64 ÷ 52 = $31.07

$31.07 is being contributed weekly by her employer.
