Explanation:
this is just a simplified situation. normally people have more deductions from their salary than just taxes.
but anyway,
100% = $52,000
1% = 100%/100 = 52000/100 = $520
20% = 20×1% = 20 × 520 = $10,400
so, she pays $10,400 taxes.
and that leaves her from her salary
52000 - 10400 = $41,600
as net pay.
FYI - to calculate the remaining amount, we could have also done the following :
20% get deducted, so, 80% remain.
80% = 80×1% = 80 × 52000/100 = 52000 × 80/100 =
= 52000 × 0.80 = $41,600
