Answer: option C. $250.80

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent is calculated from its definition, in this way:

The x% of A is sequal to A * x% and that is equal to A * x / 100

So, for the 20% of A is A * 20 / 100 = A*0.2 = 0.2A

It is given that Uinzel is paid $1254 each month, and that the deductions are 20% of that pay, so use calculate the 20% in this way:

20% of $1254 = $1254 * 20 / 100 = $ 1254 * 0.2 = $250.80

So, the answer is the option C. $250.80
