Question

Donald has two jobs. For the most recent pay period, Donald's net income from his job as a busboy was $545.89 with tax withholdings of $92.01. Donald's net income from his job delivering newspapers was $619.10 with tax withholdings of $120.49. What was Donald's gross income for the pay period?

Answer 1

Donald's gross income for the pay period is $1378.49.

Step-by-step explanation:

Donald's gross income can be calculated by adding the net income from both jobs and the tax withholdings for each job.

Gross income = [Net income job 1 + Tax withholding job 1] + [Net income job 2 + Tax withholding job 2]

Gross income = [$545.89 + $92.01] + [$619.10 + $120.49]

Gross income = $638.90 + $739.59

Gross income = $1378.49

Therefore, Donald's gross income for the pay period is $1378.49.
