Question

Yoko is paid semimonthly. How many fewer paychecks does she receive in a year compared to someone who is paid weekly?

Answer 1

Answer:

28 fewer paychecks

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 months in a year

If Yoko is paid Semi-Monthly, it means she is paid TWICE a month

So, in a year, she will be paid 2 * 12 = 24 times a year

Whereas, weekly payment is simple. There are 52 weeks in a year and if you get paid weekly, you basically get 52 paychecks a year.

Hence, Yoko is paid 52 - 24 = 28 fewer paychecks
