Answer:

Net pay 5,910

Step-by-step explanation:

From the gross earnings we need to subtract each concept to get the net pay.

gross earnings 8,000

FICA 8% of 8,000 (640)

federal income (1,270)

state 2% of 8,000 (160)

United Fund (20)

Net pay 5,910

That is October's cash amount Mike will receive for his salary

Key-terms
