$82.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Bi-Monthly= twice a month, So 2 X 2007.25=$4,014.50 His check amount for a month.

Next, multiply his salary times 12 months. 4,014.5 X 12(months in a year)=$48,174 is the yearly salary.

17.1%-change the percent to a decimal by moving the decimal two places to the left to get 0.171 or by dividing it by 100.

Then multiply 0.171 times the yearly income of $48,174 and the answer is $8237.754 for that year.

Then divide this number by the total number of checks he received in a year which is 24 (2 checks in a month times 12 months)

Next, take $8237.75 divided by 24 months equals $343.23 was taken from each check. So the answer is letter D.

i got 10.28 but that rounds up to 10.3
