Question

each week working his full time job. His employer has a 16.5%
% tax deduction on all monies earned each week.

Calculate the tax deduction Thomas paid for that week.
$107.15
$107.25
$99.00
$101.15

Answer 1

To calculate the tax deduction Thomas paid for that week, we multiply his weekly earnings by the tax deduction percentage.

1. Thomas's weekly earnings: $650
2. Tax deduction percentage: 16.5%

Now we calculate the tax deduction:

\[
\text{Tax Deduction} = \text{Weekly Earnings} \times \text{Tax Deduction Percentage}
\]
\[
\text{Tax Deduction} = 650 \times 0.165 = 107.25
\]

So, the tax deduction that Thomas paid for that week is **$107.25**.
