I will give you the answer in the following steps. In addition to solving this exercise it is necessary the table found in the attachments -And that was probably in the book where this exercise is taken-.
Here we have:
Percentage Method of Withholding –Single Person
Each Weekly Allowance = $63.46
Step 1:
= ∙
=3*$63.46
= $190.38
Step 2:
=−
=$560.00- $190.38
=369.62 US$
Step 3: (Here we refer to the table, as the income is less than $ 645, and more than $ 195, the tax is 14.40 plus 15% for being the income above $ 195)
Well we know that 10 and 3/4 is equivalent to 10.75. If we divide the meat into 8 equal packages we have to divide 10.75 by 8. Dividing 10.75 by 8 gives us 1.34375 pounds of meat per package. If we take that, and multiply it by our given value of $3.40 per pound, we end up getting $4.57 a package.
