Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula
\(Percentage = \frac{Part\ values\times 100}{Total\ values}\)
First part
As given
Paul's gross pay is $2435.
His deductions total $560.06.
Part value = $560.06
Total value = $2435
Putting the values in the equation
\(Percentage = \frac{560.06\times 100}{2435}\)
\(Percentage = \frac{56006}{2435}\)
Percentage = 23%
Thus
The percentage of gross pay is 23% .
(As the percentage is always be 100% .)
The percentage of gross pay is take home = 100% - 23%
= 77%
Therefore the percentage of the gross pay is take home be 77% .
Option (D) is correct .
Second part
As given
Chaya gross pay is $457. 88 .
The amount of Social security deducted is 6.2% of her gross pay.
Here
Percentage = 6.2 %
Total value = 457.88
As putting in the formula
@@MATH_TOKEN_3@@
@@MATH_TOKEN_4@@
@@MATH_TOKEN_5@@
Part values = $ 28.39 (Approx)
Therefore the deduction for social security cost be $28.39 .
Option (D) is correct .
Third part
As given
Jay earned $432.18 in net pay for working 32 hours.
\(jay\ working\ hourly\ wage = \frac{Total\ wage}{Total\ working\ hours}\)
Putting the values in the above
\(jay\ working\ hourly\ wage = \frac{432.18}{32}\)
jay working hourly wage = 13.51 (Approx)
Therefore jay working hourly wage is $13.51
Option (B) is correct.
