Question

Kathy is a scientist who is working in a remote part of Australia. She earns a salary of $86 840 plus a weekly allowance of $124.80 for working under extreme and isolated conditions. Calculate Kathy’s fortnightly pay.

Answer 1

Answer:

$3589.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Salary per fortnight {52 weeks in a year; 2 weeks in a fortnight}

= 86840 / 52 × 2

= 3340

Allowance per fortnight = 124.80 × 2 = 249.60

Therefore, total fortnightly pay is:

3340 + 249.60 = 3589.60
