    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

    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
