Question

Last week, Rose Petropolis earned gross pay of $820. Her employer deducted $109 in federal withholding taxes, 6.2% in Social Security taxes, 1.45% in Medicare taxes, $74 in health insurance, and $45 in union dues. What was Rose's net pay?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to substract the amounts her empoyer deducted from her gross pay:

First we have to find the percentages:

Social security: 6.2%:

`820*(6.2)/(100)=820*0.062=50.84`

Medicare 1.45%:

`820*(1.45)/(100)=820*0.0145=11.89`

In total:

`820-109-50.84-11.89-74-45=529.27`

Answer:

Rose's net pay was $529.27
