Net pay $764.5

Explanation:

wages = $1000

income taxes  = $159

solution

particular                              net pay

Gross wages                        $1000

less  

Income taxes withheld         $159

FICA-social security             (1000×6.2%)    = $62

FICA-Medicare taxes           (1000×1.45%)   =       $14.5

Total taxes withheld             (235.5)

So, Net Pay                            $764.5
