Answer 1

Given that Tina earns $14500 per year and she has 20% withheld for deductions.

We have to find the net amount of her biweekly paycheck.

It is known that a year has 52 weeks. But the payment is biweekly. So, the earnings biweekly will be 14500/26.

Since she has 20% deductions. So, she gets 80% of her earnings.

`(14500)/(26)*0.8=446.15`

Thus, the biweekly paycheck is $446.15. Thus, the correct option is d.
