Answer 1

Answer:

Gross pay per week = $234

Federal income tax = $421.2

Social security = $174.96

Medicare =$40.71

net pay per week = $181

Total gross pay = $2,808

Total net pay = $2172

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to calculate Angela gross income per week:

18 hours per week x $13 per hour = $234 per week (gross)

234 x 12 =2,808

Amount taken ; multiply weekly gross pay by each percentage discount in decimal form (divided by 100)

Federal income tax = 234 x (15/100) = $35.1  (in 12 weeks = 35.1 x 12 = $421.2)

Social security = 234 x (6.2/100)= $14.508 (in 12 weeks = 14.5 x 12 = $174.96)

Medicare = 234 x (1.45/100)=$3.393  (in 12 weeks = 3.39x 12 = $40.71)

Total amount taken (per week)= 35.1+14.508+3.393=$53.001

Net pay per week = 234-53 = $181

For the total gross pay we have to multiply the weekly gross pay by the number of weeks (12)

Total gross pay = 234 x 12 =$2,808

Total net pay = 181 x 12 = 181 per week x 12 = $2172
