Answer

$\$1,350$.

Work Step by Step

Annual salary $=\$33,150$. Holiday bonus $=\$750$. The paycheck is $=x$. Paycheck par month $=2x$. Paycheck par year $=12(2x)=24x$. Paycheck plus Holiday bonus $=$ Annual salary. Plug all values. $\Rightarrow 24x+750=33,150$ Subtract $750$ from both sides. $\Rightarrow 24x+750-750=33,150-750$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 24x=32,400$ Divide both sides by $24$. $\Rightarrow \frac{24x}{24}=\frac{32,400}{24}$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow x=1350$ The gross amount of each paycheck $=\$1,350$.
