Question

John has gross biweekly earnings of $743.61. By claiming 1 more withholding allowance, John would have $19 more in his take home pay. How many withholding allowances does John currently claim?

Answer 1

Total withholding allowances are 39.

Explanation:

Given the gross earning of John = $743.61

It is given that 1 withholding allowance = $19

Now we have to find the total number of withholding allowances. Here, the number of withholding allowances can be determined by dividing the total earnings with $19.

Number of withholding allowances = 743.61 / 19 = 39.14 or 39 (round off).
