Compute each withholding and add:

- Federal: $31.00
- Social Security: 6.2% of 754.80 = 0.062 × 754.80 = $46.7976 ≈ $46.80
- Medicare: 1.45% of 754.80 = 0.0145 × 754.80 = $10.9446 ≈ $10.94
- State tax: 18% of federal = 0.18 × 31 = $5.58

Total withheld = 31 + 46.7976 + 10.9446 + 5.58 = $94.3222 ≈ $94.32

Answer: a. $94.32
