the first thing i did was add 12.50+44+20+25=101.50
then i subtracted 400-101.50=298.50
last i multiplied 298.50x52=15,522
the answer is $15,522

Answer:

The yearly take home salary is $15,522.

Explanation:

First we have to subtract all the savings and the deductions before calculating the yearly take home salary.


WeekSalary=400.00-12.50-44.00-20.00-25.00=298.50

The total weekly take home salary is $298.50.

Now we can calculate the yearly take home salary multiplying the weekly salary for the 52 weeks that have a year, this is:


298.50*52=15,522

The yearly take home salary is $15,522.
