You have accepted a job at an annual salary of $27,630. Sorry, but you will not be able to afford that dream home on this salary! However, your employer was gracious enough to include a year-end bonus of $750. WOW! You are to be paid twice a month. What will your gross pay be for each paycheck?

Since the bonus does not come till the end of the year try
27630/24 = $1151.25 as each paycheck.
