You get paid $500 per week and 15% is taken out for taxes. a.How much are the taxes per week? b.How much is your pay after taxes? c.What is your total pay after 6 weeks?

Answer 1

15% of $500 = .15(500) = 75 = $75 per week in taxes

$500-$75 = $425 pay per week after taxes

after 6 weeks, taxes are 75 x 6 = $450 total taxes

gross pay after 6 weeks = 500x6 = $3,000

net pay after taxes after 6 weeks = 3000-450 = 2550 = $2,550
