I’m not exactly sure about this question, however, it might just be some questions I’ve looked at before but worded differently so I’ll share my attempt.
Gross pay = $627 (I’m assuming this is the payment that is meant to be received if payed in full without counting any deductions.)
Total Deductions = $185 (The money that will not be received.)
$627 - $185 = $442 (This is the money that will be received.)
The person only receives **$422** Of **$627**.
Translate that into maths:
$422 / $627 (Of means a division line if you make it into a fraction)
If you enter that into a calculator you get: 0.7049…
Now this isn’t a percentage, to get a percentage you must times by 100.
—> (So the full equation would have been $422/$627 **multiplied by** 100.)
If you enter this on your calculator you get: 70.49…
—> This is your percentage.
**Unless** it specifies to leave the percentage as an amount of “significant figures/ decimal places” then you can leave it like this (70.49%).
