% tax deduction on all monies earned each week.
$504
$506

$96

Calculate the tax deduction Linda paid for that week.

Round the answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

To calculate the tax deduction Linda paid for that week, we can use the following steps:

1. Determine the amount of tax deducted from her earnings.
2. 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**.
