Answer:
Explanation:
Remark
His pay gets income tax deducted at a rate of 18% = 18/100
That means you multiply is weekly wage by 18/100 to get what the government takes off.
Solution
18/100 * 495 = 80.10
The government takes $80.10
His take home pay is 495 - 80.10 = $405.90
Note:
There is a short way of doing his take home pay if that is all you are interested in. His take home pay is 82% of his gross pay which is 82/100 * 495.
82/100 * 495 = 405.90
