7 plus 3 first than plus 2 my strategy is to look at the easier thing to add than add the second one
Less than because 2.15 is a tenth greater.
divide the total tax by the rate
8.75% = 0.0875
4.59/.0875 = 52.457 round to 52.46
Answer:
89 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
First solve all the deductions.
For each multiply the $10, which you are paid, and the percentage.
For FICA: $10 x 0.0765 = $0.77 per hr
For Fed tax: $10 x 0.12 = $1.2 per hr
For State tax: $10 x 0.08 = $0.8 per hr
Now subtract the remaining pay:
10 – 0.77 – 1.2 – 0.8 = $7.23
Time required = $640 / $7.23 per hr
Time required = 89 hrs
Final answer:
89 hours
