  1. The social security pay for year 2017 is 6.2% each for the employee and the company, making it 12.4% in total. To solve, we simply multiply the decimal equivalent of 12.4% to $944. 
                                     (0.124)($    944) = $117.0566
    The employee should pay only 6.2%. So, the answer is letter B. 

    2. The Medicare tax is 1.45% 
                                     (0.0145)($    944) = $13.688
    The answer is letter A.
