Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the monthly earnings, we need to first determine the number of biweekly pay periods in a month, which is generally two.

So, Kathy earns $602 x 2 = $1,204 in a month.

Option A, $1,304.33, is the closest to this amount and therefore the best choice. The other options are either too low or too high. There are 26 biweekly pay periods in a year (52 weeks / 2). 
To find Kathy's monthly earnings, multiply her biweekly earnings by the number of pay periods in a month: 
$602 x 26 / 12 = $1,304.33. 
Therefore, the answer is (A) $1,304.33.
