my dream salary

An executive in an engineering firm earns a monthly salary plus a Christmas bonus of 7600 dollars. If she earns a total of 87300 dollars per year, what is her monthly salary in dollars?

Answer 1

If she earns a total of 87300 for the year that includes the bonus then take the 87300 and subtract the bonus.  Next, determine how much money she will earn each month by dividing the (Total salary minus the bonus) by the number of months in a year.

87300/12 = 7275

 

Btw it is like $45.46 per hour
