Final answer:
The milker's net pay for two weeks after all deductions is $557.34. This is calculated by first determining the weekly gross pay, subtracting deductions for various taxes and retirement, and then doubling the net sum to account for the two-week pay period.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the milker's net pay for two weeks, we first determine the gross pay for one week by multiplying the hourly wage by the number of hours worked per week. Then, we subtract the deductions for federal tax, state tax, local tax, and retirement contributions to find the net weekly pay. Finally, we multiply the net weekly pay by two to get the total amount the milker receives after all deductions for two weeks.
The milker's weekly gross pay is:
- 40 hours × $10/hour = $400
The total deductions from the gross pay are calculated as follows:
- Federal tax: 1/5 of $400 = $80
- State tax: 3/50 of $400 = $24
- Local tax: 1/100 of $400 = $4
- Retirement: 1/30 of $400 = $13.33
The total deductions are:
$80 + $24 + $4 + $13.33 = $121.33
The net pay for one week is:
$400 - $121.33 = $278.67
The net pay for two weeks is:
2 × $278.67 = $557.34
The milker receives $557.34 after all deductions for two weeks of work.
