Her annual salary is $62,400

Step-by-step explanation:

Michelle Hong noticed that her gross pay per period increased by 2,800 when her employer changed from a bi weekly pay plan to a monthly pay plan.

Bi weekly is a check every 2 weeks, so she would get 26 checks per year.

Monthly would be 12 checks per year.

When she gets paid monthly her pay increased by $2,800 each check.

Let x be one bi-weekly paycheck.

The equation we get is:

12 (x+2800) = 26x

Multiply the bracket by 12:

12x + 33600 = 26x

Subtract 12x from both sides

33600 = 14x

Divide both sides by 14:

x = 33600/14

x = 2400

Her pay increased by 2800 each period:

2400 + 2800 = 5200 per check.

5200 x 12 months = 62400

Her annual salary is $62,400
