1/26 of 800 is equal to 800/26. Divide 800 into 26 equal parts.
ETF typo

Re: Math help
If this is for unemployment, the most you can get is $405 per week.

I think she's trying to figure out if she'd get the max rate or less than that?
Or if she'd technically be eligible for more than $405, if there was no max amount?

Re: Math help

Thanks! I'm reading something wrong.
More math help - here's a word problem
Your original benefit rate is calculated on your actual high calendar quarter* wages. Your weekly benefit rate is one twenty-sixth (1/26) of the high quarter wages paid to you in your base period, except if your high quarter wages are $3,575 or less, then your weekly benefit rate is one twenty-fifth (1/25) of your high quarter wages. Wages are applied to the quarter in which they are paid (not earned). The current maximum weekly benefit rate is $405
If my weekly net is $800, how much would I get (leave out the part of the maximum weekly benefit rate).
Edited because I'm SO off. (see post below for my fixed answer!)

Re: Math help

Is $800 the amount of your high quarter wages?
Also are your high quarter wages > or < $3575?
If >, then your weekly would be the number given previously... $30.whatever
If <, then your weekly would be $32.
I THINK. I'm no good at these things though, so don't go by me.
Kara... help!
The unemployment formula is confusing!
I'm pretty sure that someone who's making $800/week would get the max benefit amount of $405 ... but the way they word it, it sounds like she'd only get $30.whatever, right?!
I'm basing that on my calculation of $800/week x 13 weeks/quarter = $10,400/quarter (which is greater than the $3575 amount).

Okay, now I understand!
You're absolutely right then.
She would get the $405 because
$800/week x 13 weeks/quarter = $10,400 which is greater than the $3575 amount, meaning she'd get 1/25th of that weekly. That would be $$416, but since the max is $405, she would receive the max payment.
phew!

Re: Math help
Ok, I think we got it figured out.
You have to divide the QUARTERLY total by 25 (or 26) not the WEEKLY amount.

Re: Math help
Okay wait, let me edit.
I think you'd get $400 because you make more than $3575 so you'd get 1/26th (not 1/25th) which is $400.

Man, my head hurts!
When I read your correction, I thought you were wrong .... then I read the "word problem" about 4 more times, and now I think your revised answer is correct. 
Hey, sunflowerjesss, can you let us know what rate you end up getting?!!?!?!? hahahahaha You can tell me by FM if you don't want to post it, but you've got me really curious to see how it all works out now!

Absolutely - that's if I wind up getting unemployment at all! I'm still trying to figure out if I can get my boss to lay me off !
