    A.) $10,400

    Contribution every payday = $60

    Pay periods in a year = 26

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Assume her salary, that is total cost = y

    Percentage deduction 15% of total cost

    biweekly paychecks = $60

    Therefore, 15% of y = $60

    (15/100) y = 60

    15y = 6000

    y = 400

    Total value of contribution:

    $400 * number of biweeks in a year

    If number of weeks in a year = 52

    No of bi-weeks = 52/2 = 26

    $400 * 26 = $10400
