Question

Answer 1

Amount of deduction

• 25% of 229.22
• 229.22/4
• $57.3

Net pay check

• 229.22-57.3
• $171.92

Answer 2

$171.92

Explanation:

Given information:

• Weekly gross pay = $229.22

Gross pay is the pay received before any deductions are taken.

Therefore, if 25% of deductions are taken from the given gross pay, the net pay will be 75%, since 100% - 25% = 75%.

Therefore, to calculate the expected weekly paycheck, find 75% of the gross weekly pay:

75% of $229.22

= 0.75 × 229.22

= 171.915

= $171.92
