Question

Mr. Powell brought home $324.16 in net pay last week. His gross pay was $594.00. His net pay is what percent of his gross pay?

Answer 1

His net pay is 54.57% of his gross pay.

Explanation:

Given:

Mr. Powell brought home $324.16 in net pay last week.

His gross pay was $594.00.

Now, to find the percentage of his net pay to his gross pay:

Net pay = $324.16.

Gross pay = $594.00.

So, to get the percentage:

`(Net\ pay)/(Gross\ pay) * 100.`

`=(324.16)/(594) * 100`

`=(32416)/(594)`

`=54.57\%`

Therefore, his net pay is 54.57% of his gross pay.
