Answer 2

Answer:

Jamal's total monthly deductions are of $119.89.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we have to know how much does Jamal earn in a typical month. As he works 63 hours in a month, earning $8.75 an hour, he finally earns $551.25 each month.

He has to pay several taxes, including the Federal Income Tax, FICA, Medicare, and state and local taxes, which in sum make a total of 21.75% of his salary. Therefore, as 551.25 x 21.75 / 100 is equal to 119.89, that is the amount of money that he has to pay.
