Answer 1

To determine how much more Morris will have withheld from his weekly pay if he takes no exemptions instead of 2 exemptions, we need to find the withholding amounts for both scenarios based on the provided table.

Morris earns $325 per week, which falls into the range of $300 to $400.

According to the table:

- If he takes **2 exemptions** (column corresponding to 2 exemptions), the withholding is **$2**.

- If he takes **0 exemptions** (column corresponding to 0 exemptions), the withholding is **$7**.

To find out how much more Morris will have withheld if he takes no exemptions, we calculate the difference:

\[
\text{Additional withholding} = \text{Withholding with 0 exemptions} - \text{Withholding with 2 exemptions} = 7 - 2 = 5
\]

Thus, Morris's weekly withholding will be **$5.00** more if he takes no exemptions instead of taking 2 exemptions.

The final answer is:

**$5.00**
