2. last year bryans annual salary was $46,000. this year he received a promotion and a pay raise. he now earns $52,000.

a. what was his bi - weekly pay last year?
b. what is his bi - weekly pay this year?
c. what is the difference between his bi - weekly pay from this year and his bi - weekly pay last year?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Shay's annual salary

Since semi - monthly means 2 times a month, there are 24 semi - monthly periods in a year. Multiply semi - monthly pay by 24.
$3000\times24$

Step2: Calculate Bryan's last year bi - weekly pay

There are 52 weeks in a year, so bi - weekly (every 2 weeks) there are $\frac{52}{2}=26$ bi - weekly periods. Divide last year's annual salary by 26.
$\frac{46000}{26}$

Step3: Calculate Bryan's this year bi - weekly pay

Divide this year's annual salary by 26.
$\frac{52000}{26}$

Step4: Calculate the difference in bi - weekly pay

Subtract last year's bi - weekly pay from this year's bi - weekly pay.
$\frac{52000}{26}-\frac{46000}{26}$

Answer:

Shay's annual salary: $72000$
Bryan's last year bi - weekly pay: $\frac{46000}{26}\approx1769.23$
Bryan's this year bi - weekly pay: $\frac{52000}{26} = 2000$
Difference in bi - weekly pay: $\frac{52000}{26}-\frac{46000}{26}=\frac{6000}{26}\approx230.77$
