Answer 1

3493.90

Explanation:

total = 100% = 4568

withholding = 16.55% of pay = 16.55% of 4568

1. convert 16.55% to a decimal by dividing by 100

16.55% = 0.1655

2. multiply that by the 100% number

0.1655 * 4568 = 756.004 = 16.55% of 4568

3. subtract that from the original

pay - federal withholding = 4568- 756.004 = 3811.996

then, subtract her other deductions from that amount

3811.996 - 318.10 = 3493.896 ≈ 3493.90
