Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula
[tex]Percentage = \frac{Part\ values\times 100}{Total\ values}[/tex]
First part
As given
Paul's gross pay is $2435.
His deductions total $560.06.
Part value = $560.06
Total value = $2435
Putting the values in the equation
[tex]Percentage = \frac{560.06\times 100}{2435}[/tex]
[tex]Percentage = \frac{56006}{2435}[/tex]
Percentage = 23%
Thus
The percentage of gross pay is 23% .
(As the percentage is always be 100% .)
The percentage of gross pay is take home = 100% - 23%
= 77%
Therefore the percentage of the gross pay is take home be 77% .
Option (D) is correct .
Second part
As given
Chaya gross pay is $457. 88 .
The amount of Social security deducted is 6.2% of her gross pay.
Here
Percentage = 6.2 %
Total value = 457.88
As putting in the formula
[tex]6.2 = \frac{Part\ values\times 100}{457.88}[/tex]
[tex] Part\ values= \frac{6.2\times 457.88}{100}[/tex]
[tex] Part\ values= \frac{2838.856}{100}[/tex]
Part values = $ 28.39 (Approx)
Therefore the deduction for social security cost be $28.39 .
Option (D) is correct .
Third part
As given
Jay earned $432.18 in net pay for working 32 hours.
[tex]jay\ working\ hourly\ wage = \frac{Total\ wage}{Total\ working\ hours}[/tex]
Putting the values in the above
[tex]jay\ working\ hourly\ wage = \frac{432.18}{32}[/tex]
jay working hourly wage = 13.51 (Approx)
Therefore jay working hourly wage is $13.51
Option (B) is correct.
