The answer is 63.88
Here's how you do it so next time you can do it on your own! :)
835 x 7.65%
convert 7.65% to decimal form .0765
Then just finish it out.

The correct answer is:

$63.88

Step-by-step explanation:

The current rate that Social Security is withheld from your paycheck is 6.2%. The current rate for Medicare withholding is 1.45%. Together this makes

6.2+1.45 = 7.65% = 7.65/100 = 0.0765

For an $835 check,

835(0.0765) = 63.8775 ≈ $63.88
