Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

You can just multiply the values together in order to find the value that it’s after!

Amount Withheld = Weekly Pay x Tax Rate

Amount Withheld = 276 x 0.0765

Amount Withheld = 21.11

It looks like that would be the first choice out of the list of options!

I hope that helps get you moving in the right direction! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)
