Question

Jacob earned a gross pay for the week of $592. If 16% was withheld for deductions, what was his net pay?

Answer 1

$497.28

Explanation:

First, you need to find 16% of 592. To do this, turn 16% into a decimal by dividing by 100:

16/100 = 0.16

Then, multiply 0.16 by 592, to get 94.72.

Then, subtract this number from 592:

592 - 94.72 = 497.28
