Round any decimals to the nearest penny.
You decide to work 50 hr/month at your second job from question #3. How much discretionary money do you have after you put $220/month aside?

I don't have the details from question #3. I need at least the second job's hourly pay (and whether the pay given is gross or already net of taxes/deductions) and any other monthly deductions to compute your discretionary money.

How to compute it (once you give the missing numbers)
1. Monthly gross from second job = hours worked (50) × hourly wage.
2. Monthly net (take-home) = gross − taxes/deductions (or use the net/hour if question #3 gave net pay).
3. Discretionary money = monthly net − $220.
4. Round to the nearest penny.

Example (illustration only)
- If the second job pays $9.50/hr gross:
- Gross = 50 × $9.50 = $475.00
- If taxes/deductions are 15%: net = $475.00 × (1 − 0.15) = $403.75
- Discretionary = $403.75 − $220.00 = $183.75

Send me the hourly pay (and any deduction/tax info or the net pay from question #3) and I will compute the exact answer and round to the nearest penny.
