Ginger earns $18,500 annually and has 22% of her gross earnings

withheld. What is the net amount of her paycheck each pay period if
she is paid biweekly?

There are 26 biweekly paydays in a year (6 out of 7 years, anyway).

Weekly paycheck = (0.78)*$18,500/26
= $ ____

To find the net amount of Ginger's paycheck each pay period, we need to calculate the amount withheld from her earnings and then subtract it from her gross earnings.

Step 1: Calculate the amount withheld from Ginger's earnings:
First, we need to find out how much money is withheld from her gross earnings. We can do this by multiplying her gross earnings by the withholding rate.

Amount withheld = Gross earnings * withholding rate
= $18,500 * 0.22

Calculating the amount withheld:
Amount withheld = $4,070

Step 2: Calculate the net amount of Ginger's paycheck:
Now that we know the amount withheld from Ginger's gross earnings, we can find the net amount of her paycheck by subtracting the amount withheld from her gross earnings.

Net amount of paycheck = Gross earnings - Amount withheld
= $18,500 - $4,070

Calculating the net amount of Ginger's paycheck:
Net amount of paycheck = $14,430

So, the net amount of Ginger's paycheck each pay period when she is paid biweekly is $14,430.
