Answer 1

This question indicates that the attorney charges 20% for his/her services plus 7.3124% of the total to pay fees and taxes. The total paid is the sum of the percentages or 27.3124% of the $52,000 settlement, which is $14,202.45. Keep in mind to do the math, you must change the percentage to a decimal, which is 0.273124 and multiply this by the settlement amount of $52,000, to get the total paid to the attorney.
