Jillians annual salary as an actress is $35,000. she receives a paycheck every two weeks. what is jillians biweekly salary?

There are 52 weeks in a year and if she gets paid every two weeks then divide 52 by 2 to get 26 so she would get paid 26 times a year so divide her annual salary by 26 to get $1,346.15 every other week. So her biweekly salary is $1,346.15.

We know that Jillian earns $35,000 a year, but she receives a paycheck every two weeks. 

This means we want to know how much she earns every two weeks.

The first step is to find out how many pay checks Jillian gets a year.

In order to find out how many pay checks she gets a year we need to find out how many pairs of weeks are in a year.
(1 pair of weeks = 2 weeks = 1 biweek)
1 year = 52 weeks 
52 weeks = 26 biweeks
There are 26 biweeks a year, so Jillian gets 26 paychecks a year.

To find out Jillian's biweekly salary we need to use the following model:

Total salary ÷ # of paychecks a year = biweekly salary

Jillian's total salary is: $35000
Number of paychecks she gets a year: 26 (we calculated this above)
biweekly salary: we'll use 'x' to represent this because we don't know what it is yet.

We can write an equation for this: x = 35000 ÷ 26
35000 ÷ 26 = 1346.15

This means each of Jillian's pay checks are $1346.15. 
Her paychecks are given biweekly.
So, her biweekly salary is $1346.15.
