Question

pat earns $575 per week at her new job. express her annual salary using the k abbreviation (10k) found in classified ads.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine weeks in a year

There are 52 weeks in a year. So we multiply the weekly salary by 52.
$\text{Annual Salary} = 575\times52$

Step2: Calculate the product

$575\times52 = 29900$

Step3: Convert to K abbreviation

To convert to the K abbreviation (where 1K = 1000), we divide by 1000.
$\frac{29900}{1000}=29.9$
So the annual salary is $29.9$K. Wait, but the initial answer was 29.90K which is the same as 29.9K (the trailing zero after the decimal doesn't change the value). Let's re - check the calculation:
$575\times52=(500 + 75)\times52=500\times52+75\times52=26000+3900 = 29900$. Then $29900\div1000 = 29.9$, so in the format with two decimal places it's 29.90K.

Answer:

29.90K
