Answer 1

$306.18

Step-by-step explanation:

First, Rosa works 30 hours per week for $15.75 per hour, so the total amount earned per week is

$15.75 x 30 hours = $472.5

Then, her paychek has 28% deducted for taxes, so we need to subtract 28% of $472.5 as follows

$472.5 - 0.28($472.5)

$472.5 - $132.3

$340.2

So, the take home pay is $340.2.

Additionally, she takes 10% of her take home pay for savings. This 10% is equivalent to

0.1($340.2) = $34.02

Therefore, the money available to spend each week is

$340.2 - $34.02 = $306.18

So, the answer is $306.18
