Answer 1

Hello Mikala , Just make column to add the deductions from check.

First,  Multiply the number of hours worked by the hourly wage. Then, subtract the deductions.

 

Number of hours =40.

 

Hourly Wage =$8.25.

 

Net Pay =(Total earned  minus deductions).

 

                                                                  Deductions.

                                                            ________________.

                                      Socia ecurity    $20.46.

                                  Fed Income Tax   $36.00.

                                 Medicare Tax          $4.46.

                                  City Income Tax     $6.60.                                           

                                                               __________.

                               Total Deductions     $67.52.                                     

 

                Net Pay= $330.00 -  $67.52   =  $262.48.                    

 

               Hope this helps.

David is correct; none of the choices are the correct answer.

Total weekly pay = 40(8.25) - 20.46 - 36 - 4.46 - 6.6 = $262.48
