Answer:

Brian's Net pay is $945.08.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Gross earnings for the week = $1227.38

Deductions = 23%

We need to find the net pay.

Solution:

First we will find the amount deducted.

amount deducted is equal to Deductions on Gross pay.

framing in equation form we get;

amount deducted = $\frac{23}{100}\times 1227.38 = \ 282.2974$

Now we can say that;

Net pay is equal to Gross earnings minus amount deducted in tax.

framing in equation form we get;

Net pay = $1227.38-282.2974 = \ 945.0826$

Rounding to nearest hundred  we get;

Net pay = $945.08

Hence Brian's Net pay is $945.08.
