First, we need to find out how much is being withheld from each paycheck for deductions.
22% of $18,500 = $4,070
This means that Leon's gross biweekly paycheck is:
$18,500 / 26 = $711.54
To find the net amount of each biweekly paycheck, we need to subtract the $4,070 in deductions from the $711.54 gross paycheck:
$711.54 - $4,070 = $707.88
So the answer is (a) $177.88.
