Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets translate this word problem into math.

"Latoya's annual salary is $26,000" = We start with the number 26,000

"A total of $7352.24 will be deducted for taxes and health insurance" = It's the number we started with "deducted" (minus) 7352.24

"She will receive her paycheck monthly in 12 equal installments" = Our number will be divided by 12

"How much will she get paid with each paycheck?" = "Find answer pls thx"

To put it all together...

$\frac{26,000-7,352.24}{12}$

Now all we have to do is solve!

$\frac{26,000-7,352.24}{12}$

• Subtract.

$\frac{18,647.76}{12}$

• Divide.

$1,553.98$

Answer:

Latoya will get paid $1,553.98 with each paycheck.
