At an annual salary of $55,000 per year, what is the amount of semimonthly paychecks?

Semi monthly means 2 times per month

assume that pay is at beginning and middle of month (doesn't matter, but makes it easier for me)

so 12 months

2 times per month

12 times 2=24

divide 55000 by number of months

55,000/24=2291.67

so the amount per paycheck, assuming equally distributed amounts throughout the paychecks, is $2291.67
