Question

Trisha Oakley works at the telephone company. She earns an annual salary of $26,000.00. If Trisha works. 50 hours a week and is paid biweekly, how much does she earn per hour?

Answer 1

There are 52 weeks in a year, but since she gets paid biweekly she is paid every other week, making it only 26 weeks. this means she earns $1,000 every two weeks, or $500 every week. if she works for 50 hours a week and earns $500, she makes $10 an hour.
