Answer 1

Based on the calculations below, the weekly gross pay of John Pelson is $1,339.90.

How to calculate gross pay?

Let G represents weekly gross pay. The gross pay can now be calculated as follows:

Net pay = G – FIT – SIT – CIT - Health insurance – Charity ……………….. (1)

Substitute all the relevant values into the equation (1) and solve as follows:

$972.11 = G – $185.00 – 0.05G – 0.02G – $64.00 – $25.00

$972.11 + $185.00 + $64.00 + $25.00 = G – 0.05G – 0.02G

$1,246.11 = (1 – 0.05 – 0.02)G

$1,246.11 = 0.93G

G = $1,246.11 / 0.93

G = $1,339.90
