Question

You receive your pay stub and your gross pay is $1,200.00 and your net income is $836.00. How much FICA is withheld at 7.65%?

Answer 1

Answer:

$91.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the gross pay is $1,200.00 and the net income is $836.00 and we are supposed to find how much FICA is withheld at 7.65%.

To find how much FICA is withheld at 7.65 percent, we will multiply the gross pay by  7.65  percent in decimal form.

When we work with the percentages, we divide the percentage by 100:

$\frac{7.65}{100} =0.0765$

Now multiplying the gross pay by 0.0765 to get:

$1200 x 0.0765 = $91.8

Therefore, $91.8 FICA is withheld at 7.65%.

Answer 2

The answer is:

$91.80
