Answer 1

To determine Elaine's income tax withholding, we need to find her earnings range and the corresponding withholding amount based on the number of claimed exemptions.

Elaine makes \$520 per week. According to the provided table:

- The earnings are in the range of \$500 to \$600.
- She has 4 exemptions.

Now, we can look at the relevant part of the table for her earnings:

```
$500 - $600 (5 exemptions)
15 5 3 3 2 1
```

- For someone earning between \$500 and \$600 and claiming 4 exemptions, the withholding amount is **\$2.00**.

Thus, Elaine's income tax withholding will be **$2.00**.
