A fixed amount given as so much per pay period (time between paychecks). Common pay periods are weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, and monthly.
Copyright © 2015, 2011, and 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 16 Example You are a career counselor and want to compare the earnings of four clients you have helped to find jobs. Scott Perrine receives a weekly salary of $546, Tonya McCarley receives a biweekly salary of $1686, Julie Circle receives a semimonthly salary of $736, and Bill Leonard receives a monthly salary of $1818. For each worker, find the following: (a) earnings per year, (b) earnings per month, and (c) earnings per week.
Copyright © 2015, 2011, and 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 17 Example Scott Perine: (a) $546 × 52 = $28,392 per year (b) $28,392 ÷ 12 = $2366 per month (c) $546 per week Tonya McCarley: (a) $1686 × 26 = $43,836 per year (b) $43,836 ÷ 12 = $3653 per month (c) $1686 ÷ 2 = $843 per week
Copyright © 2015, 2011, and 2007 Pearson Education, Inc. 18 Example Julie Circle: (a) $736 × 24 = $17,664 per year (b) $736 × 2 = $1472 per month (c) $17,664 ÷ 52 = $ per week Bill Leonard: (a) $1818 × 12 = $21,816 per year (b) $1818 per month (c) $21,816 ÷ 52 = $ per week
