## Step 1: Calculate Bi-Weekly to Annual Salary<br />### To find the annual salary from a bi-weekly salary, multiply the bi-weekly salary by the number of bi-weekly periods in a year. There are 26 bi-weekly periods in a year (52 weeks / 2 weeks/period = 26 periods). So, $\$438.28 \times 26 = \$11395.28$.<br /><br />## Step 2: Calculate Semi-Monthly to Annual Salary<br />### To find the annual salary from a semi-monthly salary, multiply the semi-monthly salary by the number of semi-monthly periods in a year. There are 24 semi-monthly periods in a year (12 months * 2 periods/month = 24 periods). So, $\$2040 \times 24 = \$48960$.<br /><br />## Step 3: Calculate Monthly to Annual Salary<br />### To find the annual salary from a monthly salary, multiply the monthly salary by the number of months in a year. There are 12 months in a year. So, $\$1850 \times 12 = \$22200$.<br /><br />## Step 4: Calculate Weekly to Annual Salary<br />### To find the annual salary from a weekly salary, multiply the weekly salary by the number of weeks in a year. There are 52 weeks in a year. So, $\$491.72 \times 52 = \$25570$.<br /><br />## Step 5: Calculate Kim's Earnings<br />### Kim earns a fixed $\$10$ per week plus $\$0.18$ for each newspaper sold. She sold 829 newspapers. Her earnings from newspaper sales are $829 \times \$0.18 = \$149.22$. Her total earnings are $\$10 + \$149.22 = \$159.22$.<br /><br />## Step 6: Calculate Don's Earnings Per Pound<br />### Don earned $\$129.00$ for picking 300 lbs of fruit. To find his earnings per pound, divide his total earnings by the number of pounds picked. $\$129.00 \div 300 \text{ lbs} = \$0.43/\text{lb}$.<br /><br />## Step 7: Calculate Richard's Earnings Per Lawn<br />### Richard earned $\$273.00$ for cutting 21 lawns. To find his earnings per lawn, divide his total earnings by the number of lawns cut. $\$273.00 \div 21 = \$13.00$.
