Answer 2

$1,585.70

Explanation:

Salary per paycheck: $52,800 ÷ 24 = $2,200

Federal income tax: $2,200 × 15% = $330

FICA taxes: $2,200 × 7.65% = $168.30

State income tax: $2,200 × 3% = $66

Health care deduction: $50.00

Realized income per paycheck:

$2,200 – 330 – 168.30 – 66 – 50 = $1,585.70
