Question

A group of hospital workers belonging to a union each earn the same hourly wage. The union dues are 2 percent of each paycheck regardless of whether the employee works full-time, half-time, or quarter-time. Does this mean that the amount of money deducted will be the same for all the employees?

Answer 1

No, different amounts will be deducted.

Explanation:

Because the amount deducted is a percent, it changes based on the total amount.

For example, If someone takes 10% of $100, they will have taken $10. And if they take 10% from someone who has $10, they will have taken $1.

Good luck!
