To determine how much money an employee with an annual salary of [tex]$48,000 gets paid each week, we need to follow these steps:
1. Calculate the weekly salary:
- The number of weeks in a year is 52.
- Therefore, to find the weekly salary, we need to divide the annual salary by the number of weeks in a year.
\[
\text{Weekly Salary} = \frac{\text{Annual Salary}}{\text{Weeks in a Year}}
\]
Substituting the values:
\[
\text{Weekly Salary} = \frac{48000}{52}
\]
After performing the division:
\[
\text{Weekly Salary} \approx 923.0769230769231
\]
2. Round to the nearest whole dollar:
- To determine the weekly pay rounded to the nearest whole dollar, we look at the decimal value. If the decimal part is 0.5 or greater, we round up. Otherwise, we round down.
For the weekly salary of approximately 923.0769:
\[
\text{Weekly Salary Rounded} = 923
\]
Therefore, an employee earning $[/tex]48,000 per year will get paid approximately $923 every week when rounded to the nearest whole dollar.
