To find the ratio of take-home pay to total (gross) pay, you need to divide the take-home pay by the total (gross) pay.
Given in your table:
- Total (Gross) Pay = $375
- Take-Home Pay = $183
Now, calculate the ratio:
\[ \text{Ratio of Take-Home Pay to Total (Gross) Pay} = \frac{\text{Take-Home Pay}}{\text{Total (Gross) Pay}} = \frac{183}{375} \]
Now, divide:
\[ = 0.488 \]
To express this ratio in simplest form, you may convert it to a fraction or leave it as a decimal. As a percentage, it can also be represented as:
\[ 0.488 \times 100 \approx 48.8% \]
Thus, the ratio of take-home pay to total (gross) pay is approximately 0.488 or 48.8%.
