Grace receives a net pay of $483.75 biweekly. She has $170 withheld
from her pay each pay period. What is her annual gross salary?
a. $3,653
b. $3,372
c. $16,997.50
d. $10,572
First, we need to find out how much Grace earns before any deductions are taken out. We can do this by adding the amount withheld from her net pay to her net pay and multiplying that by the number of pay periods in a year:
($483.75 + $170) x 26 = $14,267.50
This is Grace's annual gross salary. Therefore, the correct answer is c. $16,997.50.
