First, let's calculate Yves' gross earnings for the week:
Regular pay: 47 hours * $8/hour = $376
Overtime pay: 0 hours (no overtime)
Total gross earnings: $376
Next, let's calculate the deductions from Yves' gross earnings:
Deductions: 24% of $376 = 0.24 * $376 = $90.24
Now, let's calculate Yves' net pay after deductions:
Net pay = Total gross earnings - Deductions
Net pay = $376 - $90.24
Net pay = $285.76
Therefore, the net amount of Yves' paycheck for the week is $285.76.
Yves worked 47 hours for $8 an hour and time-and-a-half for overtime.
If he had 24% of his gross earnings withheld for deductions, what was
the net amount of his paycheck for the week?
