Question

Last year Beth's annual salary was $38,350. This year she received a promotion and now earns $46,462 annually. She is paid biweekly.
a.) What was her biweekly salary last year?
b.) What is Beth’s biweekly salary this year?
c.) On a biweekly basis, how much more does Beth earn as a result of her promotion?

Answer 1

Answer:

Quite simple. There are 52 weeks in a year. She gets paid 26 times, every other week.

38,350 / 26 = her salary from last year per check.

46,462 / 26 = her new salary per check

(46,462 - 38,350) / 26 = the difference per week
