Answer:

30%.

Explanation:

We have been given that Mickey makes $55,000 annually and the current maximum contribution limit to 401(k) plan is $16,500. We are asked to find the maximum percentage Mickey can contribute of his 401(k) plan.

To find the maximum contribution percentage, we need to figure out $16,500 is what percent of $55,000.


\text{The maximum contribution percentage}=(\$16,500)/(\$55,000)* 100


\text{The maximum contribution percentage}=0.30* 100


\text{The maximum contribution percentage}=30\%

Therefore, Mickey can contribute 30% of his annual income to his 401(k) plan at maximum.
