Question

Mr. Powell brought home $324.16 in net pay last week. His gross pay was $594.00. His net pay is what percent of his gross pay?

Answer 1

Answer:

His net pay is 54.57% of his gross pay.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mr. Powell brought home $324.16 in net pay last week.

His gross pay was $594.00.

Now, to find the percentage of his net pay to his gross pay:

Net pay = $324.16.

Gross pay = $594.00.

So, to get the percentage:

$\frac{Net\ pay}{Gross\ pay} \times 100.$

$=\frac{324.16}{594} \times 100$

$=\frac{32416}{594}$

$=54.57\%$

Therefore, his net pay is 54.57% of his gross pay.
