Question

Raquel's pay stub has three deductions. What is the total amount of deductions? Round to nearest cent.
Gross Pay(wages) is $1625.35
Medicare is $22.48
Social Security is $52.72
Federal Withholding Income Tax (23%)

Please show me how to work do this problem?

Answer 1

Medi* comes off before taxes, so

22.48 + 52.72 + 0.23(1625.35-22.48-52.72) = 431.73
