Question

The total amount of deductions from an employee’s gross pay is $83.20. If the gross pay is $378.18, what percent of their gross pay is being withheld?

Answer 1

Answer:

22%

Step-by-step explanation:

A percent of something can be thought of as part of that thing divided by the total amount of the same thing and multiplied by 100%.

In this case, the part of the thing is part of a paycheck. The total thing is the total paycheck.

$Percent=\frac{Part}{Total} *100%$%

$Percent=\frac{83.20}{378.18} *100=0.2200*100=22.000$%
