Answer 1

To calculate Jocelyn's net pay, we first need to calculate her gross pay.

Gross pay = hours worked x hourly rate
Gross pay = 30 hours x $22.00/hour
Gross pay = $660.00

Now, we subtract the withholdings from the gross pay to find the net pay.

Net pay = Gross pay - Social Security - Medicare - federal income tax
Net pay = $660.00 - $40.92 - $9.57 - $50.00
Net pay = $660.00 - $100.49
Net pay = $559.51

Therefore, Jocelyn's net pay is $559.51.

The correct response is $559.51.
