An executive in an engineering firm earns a monthly salary
plus a Christmas bonus of 7,200 dollars.
If she earns a total of 82,700 dollars per year,
her monthly salary is
(82,700 - 7,200)/12 = 75,500/12 = 6291.67 dollars
Give your answer to the nearest cent.

If the $82,700 includes the bonus, and the "monthly salary" does not, then az_lender is correct: approximately $6,291.67

$75,500 divided by 12 = $6,291.67
