Question

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

Answer 1

First, you need to find her base pay by subtracting her bonus from her yearly income.

$95500- $5600= $89,900

Now that you have the base pay, you will need to find out how much is made per month.

This can be done by dividing by the number of months in a year, 12.

$89,900 / 12 months = $7,491.66

Her monthly salary is $7,491.66
