Question

What would be your take-home pay if you make $1634.89 per month and the government taxes you 23%?

Answer 1

Is. = %
Of. 100

Is the form I use for ratios

X. = 77
1634.89. 100

It's 77% because that's the precentage you would have left over from getting taxed.

Cross multiply
100x= 125886.53
Divide both sides by 100

X= 1258.8653
So your take home pay would be $1258.87
