Question

Emilio earns $11 per hour. He works 14 hours a week. His employer withholds $32 from each paycheck for taxes. If he is paid weekly, what is the amount of his paycheck?

Answer 1

$122, because 11x14= 154, then 154-32=122. 

Answer 2

Answer:

$122.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Emilio earns $11 per hour. He works 14 hours a week.

$\text{Emilio's weekly earnings before taxes}=\ 11\times 14$

$\text{Emilio's weekly earnings before taxes}=\ 154$

We are also told that Emilio's employer withholds $32 from each paycheck for taxes, so Emilio's earnings after taxes would be $154 minus $32.

$\text{Emilio's weekly earnings after taxes}=\ 154-\ 32$

$\text{Emilio's weekly earnings after taxes}=\ 122$

Therefore, the amount of Emilio's paycheck would be $122.
