Sally works 50 weeks during the year, taking 2 weeks off for an unpaid vacation. What are her annual wages for the year if she earns $1,000 per week?

Answer 1

To calculate Sally's annual wages, you first need to determine how many weeks she works in a year. Since she takes 2 weeks off for an unpaid vacation, she works for:

\[ 50 , \text{weeks} \]

Next, multiply the number of weeks she works by her weekly earnings:

\[ \text{Annual wages} = \text{Number of weeks worked} \times \text{Weekly earnings} \]

Substituting in the numbers:

\[ \text{Annual wages} = 50 , \text{weeks} \times $1,000 , \text{per week} = $50,000 \]

So, Sally's annual wages for the year amount to $50,000.
