Sara's gross pay is $600, from which $27 is deduced for OASDI, $8 for Medicare, and $10 for income tax. What is her net pay?

Question

A.
$500
B.
$510
C.
$555

Answer 1

To calculate Sara's net pay, we start with her gross pay and subtract the deductions:

1. Gross Pay: $600
2. OASDI deduction: $27
3. Medicare deduction: $8
4. Income tax deduction: $10

Total deductions:

\[ \text{Total Deductions} = 27 + 8 + 10 = 45 \]

Now, we subtract the total deductions from the gross pay to find the net pay:

\[ \text{Net Pay} = \text{Gross Pay} - \text{Total Deductions} = 600 - 45 = 555 \]

Therefore, Sara's net pay is $555.

The correct answer is C. 555.
