Manuel earns $639

Question

each week working his full time job. His employer has a 9.84
% tax deduction on all monies earned each week.

Calculate the tax deduction he paid for that week.

Answer 1

To calculate the tax deduction Manuel paid for that week, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Tax Deduction} = \text{Earnings} \times \text{Tax Rate} \]

In this case, Manuel's earnings are $639 and the tax rate is 9.84%, which can be expressed as a decimal (0.0984) for the calculation.

Now plug in the values:

\[ \text{Tax Deduction} = 639 \times 0.0984 \]

Calculating that:

\[ \text{Tax Deduction} = 639 \times 0.0984 \approx 62.9036 \]

Rounding to two decimal places, the tax deduction Manuel paid for that week is approximately:

\[ \text{Tax Deduction} \approx 62.90 \]

So, Manuel paid approximately $62.90 in tax deductions for that week.
