1.
Using the example, choose the best answer.

This week's net pay: _____

$912

$918

$1,014

$750

Answer 1

To find Jaylen's net pay, we need to calculate his earnings first.

Total Earnings = hours worked x pay per hour
Total Earnings = 51 hours x $22 per hour
Total Earnings = $1122

Next, we need to calculate the total deductions.

Total Deductions = $210 + $90 + $25
Total Deductions = $325

Now we can calculate the net pay.

Net Pay = Total Earnings - Total Deductions
Net Pay = $1122 - $325
Net Pay = $797

Therefore, the closest option to Jaylen's net pay is $750.
