Respuesta :

1. The social security pay for year 2017 is 6.2% each for the employee and the company, making it 12.4% in total. To solve, we simply multiply the decimal equivalent of 12.4% to $944. 
                                 (0.124)($944) = $117.0566
The employee should pay only 6.2%. So, the answer is letter B. 

2. The Medicare tax is 1.45% 
                                 (0.0145)($944) = $13.688
The answer is letter A.
