Question

Bryan worked 32 hours last week. His regular hourly wage is $7.50 per hour. Calculate his gross earnings for the week.

Answer 1

multiply the number of hours worked by the hourly wage.  Once you have that number multiply that by the percent deducted.  Subtract the percent deducted number from the gross pay and you have your answer.

Note: each deduction is taken out of the total gross pay.
