Answer:

$207.9

Step-by-step explanation:

If Joshua workes 27 hours at $11, the total amount of money earned by Joshua was:

27 hours * $11 = $297

Then, 30% of 297 is equal to:


297\cdot30\text{ \% = 297}\cdot(30)/(100)=89.1

It means that taxes were $89.1

So, the money left was:

$297 - $89.1 = $207.9
