You are paid $15.60/hr. your deductions are fica (7.65%), federal tax withholding (11.15%), and state tax withholding (6.5%). you work 15 hr/wk and save 10% each week. how much do you save each month? a) $76.61 b) $79.29 c) $69.92 d) $71.04

Option C is the answer.

Explanation:

Amount paid per hour = $ 15.60

Total working hours in a week = 15

Hence, total earnings in a week are = 15.60 x 15 = $234

Deductions are =

7.65 % of 234 =

11.15 % of 234 =  $26.09

6.5% of 234 =  $15.21

So totaling all deductions we get $59.20

Hence, earnings per week after deductions become = 234-59.20 = $174.80

As each week, 10% is saved, so amount saved each week is = 174.80 x 0.10 = $ 17.48

So, savings per month (4 weeks in a month) becomes = 17.48 x 4 = $69.92

Hence, option c) $69.92 is the answer.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
