Answer 1

$243.34425 round it up to the nearest 100th place

Explanation:

9.75*30

=$295.5

=$295.5*10/100

for Federal income tax is $29.55

$295.5*6.2/100

Social Security tax $18.321 round it up $18/32

$295.5*1.45/100

Medicare tax is $4.28475 round it up to the nearest 100ths place $4.28

add all of them

$29.55+$18.321+4.28475= $52.15575 round it up = $52.16

sutract the amount you got paid

$295.5-$52.16=$243.34425

Answer 2

Hey there!

The answer to your question is $240.87

First we need to find how much he earned:

9.75 x 30

292.50

Now, we find the amount of all the deductions:

292.50(0.1 + 0.062 + 0.0145)

51.63

Now, we take this off the total pay:

292.50 - 51.63

240.87

The amount of pay after deductions was 240.87

Hope it helps and have an amazing day!
