Question

a) $4,800
b) $1,200
c) $480
d) $120

Answer 1

The information provided does not enable us to calculate Jackson's total paycheck deductions. Specific deduction figures from Jackson's paycheck are necessary for such a calculation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The main answer to the student's question is not provided in the information given. The information about Jason and the calculation details related to his income with government assistance and the hourly net income does not directly answer the question about Jackson's paycheck deductions. Instead, to determine Jackson's total deductions, details about his specific deductions, such as amounts for taxes, Social Security, and Medicare, would need to be known to calculate a total deduction from his paycheck. Without these specifics, we cannot determine the total amount of Jackson's deductions from the options provided (a) $4,800, (b) $1,200, (c) $480, (d) $120).
