Question

Wesley was paid a total salary of $4,560 this month, which included $230 bonus. He should pay a 18% income tax for his base salary. How much was Wesley’s paycheck this month?

Answer 1

Wesley’s paycheck this month is $3,550.6.

Explanation:

Total salary received this month = $4,560

The bonus amount in the salary = $230

Now, Base Salary = Total Salary - Bonus amount

= $4,560 - $230 = $4,330

So, the base salary of Wesley is $4,330.

Now, 18% income tax on the base salary $4330 is

18% of $4,330 =
`(18)/(100)  * 4,330 = 779.4`

So, the sales tax amount = $779.4

So, the actual paycheck = Base salary - Tax amount

= $4,330 - $779.4 =$3,550.6

Hence, Wesley’s paycheck this month is $3,550.6.
