Question

Michael is considering four different job offers. He estimates that 12% of his income will go to taxes. He has created a table in order to determine how much his take home pay will be from each job.

Gross Income Taxes Owed
$1250 $ ----------
$1525 $ -----------
$1850 $ -------------
$2200 $ -------------

Answer 1

12% of 1250 is 150

12% of 1525 is 183

12% of 1850 is 222

12% of 2200 is 264

Explanation:

In order to find what 12% of the income is, you take the number and multiply it by 0.12.

0.12 is the equivalent of 12%.

Ex) 1250*0.12 = 150

1525*0.12 = 183

1850*0.12 = 222

2200*0.12 = 264
