Question

Last week Anna received a pay check for $442.50. She noticed in the check stub that $47.30 of the money she earned had been withheld for taxes. What percentage of Anna's total earnings was withheld for taxes?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Percentage of Taxes = 10.689 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Total earning of Anna is $442.50

The amount which is held with Taxes = $47.30

Now in terms of percentage

percentage of taxes from her total earning = $\frac{47.30}{442.50} times 100$

So % taxes = ( 0.106892) × 100

∴       Taxes percentage = 10.689 %
