Explanation: There are 52 weeks in a year; and we are given that she is paid weekly.
We are given she is paid $17,000 per year.
So, we divide $17,000 by 52; and see which answer is closest to this value.

Alternately, we can set this up as:
______________________________________________________
($17,000 / 1 yr)* (1 yr/52 weeks) = ? ; The "yr" units cancel; and we are left with units of "$ dollars / weeks" ("dollars per week");
and we have (17,000 / 52) dollars per week.

Using a calculator, (17,000 / 52) = 326.9230769230769231 ;
So, $326.9230769230769231 ; which comes VERY CLOSE to:
