Answer 1

Answer:

$4,225.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Jenifer had the following deductions from her monthly pay

Federal income tax of $87

State income tax of 2.5% of gross pay

City income tax of 1.2% of gross pay

Jennifer monthly pay is $3,982.22

Therefore jenifer monthly gross pay can be calculated as follows

Let x represent the gross pay

x = 3982.22 + 87 + 1.2/100x + 2.5/100x

x = 3982.22 + 87 + 0.012x + 0.025x

x =4069.22 + 0.037x

Collect the like terms

x - 0.037x = 4069.22

0.963x = 4069.22

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x

x = 4069.22/0.963

x = 4,225.6

Hence Jennifer monthly gross pay is $4,225.6
