Question

Sherry is paid an annual salary of $26,000 biweekly. Her friend Donna makes the same salary but is paid quarterly. How much more money does one of Donna's checks have than Sherry's.

Answer 1

Answer:

5000

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming they both work 365days

roughly 52 weeks

number of time sherry is paid per year = $\frac{52}{2} = 26$

because she is paid every two weeks

number of time donna is paid per year = $4$

because she is paid 4 times a year (quarterly)

let s =  amount sherry is paid biweekly

let d = amount donna is paid quarterly

$s = \frac{26000}{26} = 1000\\\\d = \frac{26000}{4} = 6500\\\\difference = 65000 - 1000 = 5000$
