30%

Explanation:

Answer 2

30%

Explanation:

What your problem is asking basically is how many percent is the withholding of her earnings each week. We just divide what is withheld by the earnings.

`(172.50)/(575)=0.3`

Because we need it in percentage, we then multiply it by 100%.

0.30 x 100% = 30%
