Question

Explanation:

Step1: Determine number of biweekly periods in a year

There are 52 weeks in a year, and biweekly means every 2 weeks. So the number of biweekly periods in a year is $\frac{52}{2}=26$.

Step2: Calculate biweekly paycheck

To find the biweekly paycheck, we divide the annual salary by the number of biweekly periods. The annual salary is $\$17,628$, so the biweekly paycheck is $\frac{17628}{26}$.
Calculating $\frac{17628}{26}=678$.

Answer:

678.00
