union dues are deducted from a paycheck at a rate of 4.5% of the total earnings each week if a part time employee works 20 hours per week and earns $6 per hour, what would be the dues deduction?

First, you want to find how much the employee is making per week

In this cause, you would multiply 20 × 6

20 × 6 = 120

The employee makes $120 per week.

Then you will need to find what is 4.5% of $120.

Before you multiply, you want to move the decimal place 2 times to the left. You would end up with .045

You would multiply those two numbers

0.45 × 120 = 5.4

$5.4 is the amount of money being deducted to your sub total

$5.4 would be the dues deducted
