B. K1200
C. K1800
D. K2000
Answer (1)
To determine how much Esther earns each fortnight, we first need to understand what 'fortnight' means. A fortnight is a period of two weeks, or 14 days.
Esther earns K31,200 each year. To find out how much she earns every fortnight, we can follow these steps:
First, determine how many fortnights there are in a year. Since a year has 52 weeks, the number of fortnights is given by: 2 52 = 26 fortnights per year
Next, divide Esther's annual salary by the number of fortnights to find out how much she earns per fortnight: 26 31 , 200 = 1 , 200 Therefore, Esther earns K1,200 each fortnight.
So, the correct answer is B. K1200.
