Question

Net pay is the difference between a worker’s gross income and his or her deductions. A person’s gross income for the year was $65,000 and their total deductions were $12,860. What was their net pay for the year?

Answer 1

The net pay for the year is $52,140

Answer 2

$52,140

Explanation:

A person's gross income for the year = $65,000

Their total deductions = $12,860

Net pay = Gross income - total deductions

We will subtract the deductions from their gross income to find the net income.

= $65,000 - $12,860

= $52,140

Their net pay was $52,140 for the year.
