Question

Austin’s monthly gross pay is $4,200. Federal withholding is 16.05% of his pay. His other deductions total $321.30. What is his net pay.

Answer 1

$3,204.6

Explanation:

$ 4,200 represents 100% of his salary

x amount of $ represents 16.05 % in federal withholding

after you line up $ with $ and % with % think cross multiplication

x = 4,200* 16.05/ 100 = $674.1 is the amount in federal withholding

Net pay = 4,200 -674.1 -321.30 = $3,204.6
