Answer 1

Less: Union dues            $3
          Fed. Income Tax   $39.13
          FICA                      $17.92   (6.2% of $289 = 0.062 x $289 = $17.92)
          State Income tax   $11.56   (4% of $289 = 0.04 x $289 = $11.56)
          City tax                  $15.00
          Retirement fund    $5.78   (2% of $289 = 0.02 x $289 = $5.78)

Net Income = $196.61
