Question

Jennifer Kent receives 24 paychecks each year. Each check is for $863.50 before deductions. What is Jennifer's weekly salary?

Answer 1

There are 52 weeks in a year.

First multiply the amount of her check by the number of checks she gets:

863.50 x 24 = 20,724

Now divide that amount by 52 weeks:

20724 / 52 = $398.54 per week.
