paid in equal paychecks

by sanju09 » Fri Aug 27, 2010 5:00 am
Last year an employee received a gross annual salary of $18,000, which was paid in equal paychecks throughout the year. What was the gross salary received in each of the paychecks?

(1) The employee received a total of 24 paychecks during the year.

(2) The employee received a paycheck twice a month each month during the year.

One more for D.
