Question

When the function below is called with 1 dependent and $400 as grossPay, what value is returned?

Answer 1

Answer:

b. 80.0

Explanation:

$grossPay = \ 400$

Required

Determine the returned value

The following condition is true for: dependent = 1

else if (dependnets == 1)

withheldAmount = 0.2;

The returned value is calculated as:

$withheldAmount = grossPay * withheldAmount;$

This gives:

$withheldAmount = 400 * 0.2$

$withheldAmount = 80.0$

Hence, the returned value is 80.0
