Bianca received monthly paychecks of $2985.25 last year. If 14.4% of her yearly income got withheld for federal income tax, how much got withheld for federal income tax from each of Bianca's paychecks last year?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is $429.88.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bianca received monthly paychecks of $2985.25 last year.

So, her total yearly income became:

$2985.25\times12=35823$ dollars

14.4% of her yearly income got withheld for federal income tax, so amount becomes :

$0.144\times35823=5158.512$ dollars

Now if we divide this by 12, we get the deduction for each paycheck.

$5158.512/12=429.876$ dollars

Therefore, the answer is $429.88.

Or simply you can take 14.4% of per pay check.

$0.144\times2985.25=429.88$ dollars.
