Answer 1

$945.08

Explanation:

Given: Gross earning of Brian= $1227.38

Deduction= 23% of total compensation.

Now, finding the amount of deduction from Brian´s gross earning.

Amount of deduction=
`(23)/(100) * 1227.38`

∴ Amount of deduction=
`\$ 282.2974`

Next, finding the net pay of Brian after deduction.

Net pay=
`Gross\ pay - deduction`

Net pay=
`1227.38 - 282.2974`

∴ Net Pay=
`\$ 945.0826 \approx \$945.08`

Hence, Brian´s net pay is $945.08
