To calculate the tax deduction Linda paid for that week, we can use the following steps:
- Determine the amount of tax deducted from her earnings.
- Multiply her weekly earnings by the tax rate.
Linda's weekly earnings: $600
Tax rate: 16% (which is 0.16 in decimal form)
Now, we can calculate the tax deduction:
\[ \text{Tax Deduction} = \text{Weekly Earnings} \times \text{Tax Rate} \]
\[ \text{Tax Deduction} = 600 \times 0.16 = 96 \]
Therefore, the tax deduction Linda paid for that week is $96.00.
