You are paid semi-monthly.

How many times do you get paid per year?

If you are paid semi-monthly, you receive 24 paychecks per year.

Tara has one year to save $1,800 for a family trip. There are 12 months in a year. To determine how much Tara needs to save each month, we can divide the total amount she needs to save by the number of months:

$1,800 / 12 = $150

Therefore, Tara needs to save $150 each month to meet her goal.

To find out how much Tara needs to save from each of her semi-monthly paychecks, we first need to determine how many paychecks she will receive in a year.

There are 12 months in a year, and we want to find the number of semi-monthly paychecks Tara will receive. Since a semi-monthly paycheck is paid twice a month, we need to multiply the number of months by 2.

12 months × 2 = 24 semi-monthly paychecks

Now we can calculate how much Tara needs to save from each paycheck to meet her goal of $1,800.

Divide the total amount she needs to save ($1,800) by the number of paychecks (24):

$1,800 / 24 = $75

Therefore, Tara needs to save $75 from each of her semi-monthly paychecks in order to meet her goal of $1,800 for the family trip.
