Answer:
$17.07; $97.22; 79%
Step-by-step explanation:
Jay's gross pay will be before anything is deducted; this means it is
432.18+82.42+31.70 = $546.30.
He earned this by working 32 hours; this makes his hourly wage
546.30/32 = 17.071875 ≈ $17.07
6.2% of an employee's pay is withheld for Social Security. This means that
0.062(1568) = 97.216 ≈ $97.22 is withheld.
Ms. Yamato's net pay is given by subtracting her deductions from her gross pay:
2644-548.30 = $2095.70
To find the percent of her gross pay that her take home pay represents, we divide:
2095.7/2644 = 0.7926 ≈ 0.79 = 79%
