Question

julian earns $13.50 per hour. His company deducts 23% of his pay each week for taxes. Julian uses the expression 0.77 ( 13.50h) to compute his earnings after taxes for the hours h he works. what will be his earnings after taxes, if he works 40 hour?

Answer 1

For this problem, all you have to do is plug 40 into the equation given. when we do this we get  .77(13.50*40). this simplifies 415.8, so he earns, after working 40 hours, $415.80 

Answer 2

If Julian works 40 hours per week and you would like to know what are his earnings after taxes, you can calculate this using the following steps:

per one hour: 0.77 * (13.50 * 1h) = 0.77 * 13.50 = $10.395
per 40 hours: 0.77 * (13.50 * 40h) = 0.77 * 13.50 * 40 = $415.8

Result: His earnings after taxes will be $415.8.
