The correct answer is: $121.64

Step-by-step explanation:

Per hour income of Heather = $6.55

25 hours (last week) income of Heather = 25 * $6.55 = $163.75

Total deductions = $42.11


Heather's take home pay is 25-hours-income minus total-deductions.

Heather's take home pay = $163.75 - $42.11

Heater's take home pay = $121.64 (answer)
