Final answer:

Without additional information, we cannot accurately determine how much and how frequently John was paid. The provided options show varying payment amounts and frequencies, but none match the example given for calculating net pay after taxes on a $1500 bi-weekly pay.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question does not provide enough information to ascertain which option is correct regarding how frequently and how much John was paid. To understand how much money John has left after getting paid and after taxes are subtracted, we need to ascertain the gross pay and then calculate the net pay. Looking at the provided options, they appear to refer to different payment frequencies and amounts. Since these are hypothetical or given statements, no numerical or formulaic methods provided in the reference information can directly answer the specific question about John without additional context or data about his earnings and tax deductions.

For better understanding, let's look at the concept of salary calculation. Suppose you have a job that pays you $1500 every two weeks. After taxes are taken out, you may end up with $1000. This is an example of net pay after tax deductions from the gross salary. However, this example does not correspond with any of the listed options for John, so we can't apply it directly to the question.
