Question

Naomi receives a base weekly salary of $225 plus a commission of $50 for each cable service

contract she gets signed. A 6% tax is taken out of each paycheck she receives. If Naomi had
9 new clients sign contracts during her last 2-week pay period, how much money in taxes
should she expect to be taken out?

Answer 1

$40.50 will be taken out in taxes.

Explanation:

First, solve for how much Naomi will receive in a paycheck:

$225 + $50(9)

$225 + $450

$675

Now, solve for 6% tax:

$675 × 0.06

$40.50
