To find Ceil's annual salary, follow these steps:
1. Determine the number of biweekly periods in a year. Since there are 52 weeks in a year and a biweekly period represents two weeks, you divide the number of weeks in a year by 2:
[tex]\[
\frac{52 \text{ weeks}}{2} = 26 \text{ biweekly periods}
\][/tex]
2. Next, multiply Ceil's biweekly salary by the number of biweekly periods in a year to find her annual salary:
[tex]\[
1,763.28 \text{ dollars/biweekly} \times 26 \text{ biweekly periods} = 45,845.28 \text{ dollars}
\][/tex]
So, Ceil's annual salary is [tex]$\$[/tex] 45,845.28$.
