To find Wilma's semimonthly paycheck, we need to divide her annual salary by the number of pay periods in a year. Since there are 24 semimonthly pay periods in a year (12 months x 2), we can calculate her gross semimonthly paycheck as follows:
$19,900 / 24 = $829.17
Therefore, the answer is (a) $829.17.
