Answer 1

Take-home pay as percent of the gross pay = 57.76 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross Pay = $3984

Net Pay = $2301.23

Net pay is equal to the take-home pay

Thus , take-home pay as percent of the gross pay

= ($2301.23/$3984) x 100

= 57.76 %

Answer 2

Answer: 58 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The take-home percent of the gross pay can be calculated with the following formula:

`take-home percent = (net pay)/(gross pay) \cdot 100`

In this problem, we have

net pay = $2301.23

gross pay = $3984

If we substitute these numbers into the formula, we find

`take-home percent = (2301.23)/(3984) \cdot 100=0.577\cdot 100=57.7\% = 58\%`
