Ginger earns $18,500 annually and has 22% of her gross earnings

withheld. What is the net amount of her paycheck each pay period if
she is paid biweekly?

1 answer

Step 1: Calculate Ginger's gross earnings per pay period.
$18,500 / 26 pay periods per year = $711.54 per pay period

Step 2: Calculate the amount withheld from each paycheck.
$711.54 * 0.22 = $156.54

Step 3: Calculate Ginger's net paycheck amount.
$711.54 - $156.54 = $555.00

Therefore, the net amount of Ginger's paycheck each pay period is $555.00.
