1 answer

To calculate how much is withheld each month for savings, we first need to find Bryna's monthly salary by dividing her annual salary by 12 (the number of months in a year):

Monthly salary = $17,500 / 12 = $1,458.33

Next, we need to calculate how much Bryna contributes to the payroll savings plan each month:

Amount withheld for savings = Monthly salary * 7%
Amount withheld for savings = $1,458.33 * 0.07
Amount withheld for savings = $102.08

Therefore, Bryna has $102.08 withheld each month for savings.
