\[729\times5.5\]=?

OpenStudy (will.h):

you should calculate the annual salary 1st we have 52 weeks in a year so 729 * 52 = 37908 dollars and you should multiply the 5.5% by the total annual salary to find out how much does he take for retirement 5.5/100 * 37908 = 2084.94 dollars is the 5.5% annually

OpenStudy (will.h):
