Answer 1

Rita's net income in 1 week is $626.5.

Explanation:

Given:

Gross Income last month = $2,948.45

Amount paid in payroll taxes = $442.45

Number of weeks in month = 4

We need to find net income in one week.

Solution:

First we will find the Net income last month.

To find Net income last month we will Subtract Amount paid in payroll taxes from Gross Income last month.

framing in equation form we get;

Net income last month =
`2948.45-442.45 = \$2506`

Now We will find net income in one week.

Net income in 1 week can be calculated by dividing Net income last month with Number of weeks in a month.

framing in equation form we get;

Net income in 1 week =
`(2506)/(4) = \$626.5`

Hence Rita's net income in 1 week is $626.5.
