Question

Austin's paycheck showed a regular weekly salary of $385.50, a deduction of $16.35, a commission of $28.75, and $37.35 for overtime. Which equation correctly finds Austin's final pay?

-$385.50 + $16.35 + (-$28.75) + (-$37.35) = - $435.25


$385.50 + $16.35 + (-$28.75) + (-$37.35) = $355.75


$385.50 + (-$16.35) + $28.75 + $37.35 = $435.25


$385.50 + (-$16.35) + $28.75 + $37.35 = -$467.95
