first you have to take out the christmas bonus
:
99400-7700=91700
:
so that is 91700 in yearly wages. There are 12 months in a year so to find the montly salary we divide the yearly wages by 12
:
91700%2F12=highlight%287641.66%29 per month

Subtract the 7700 bonus from the total annual of 99400 and then divide what is left by 12.
