Answer 1

First, calculate the earnings of Haeley for 55 hours of work:

55 x 18 = 990

She got $990

From deductions it is necessary to subtract $105.

Due to the withholdings by retirement fund it is also necessary to subtract $60.

Moreover, due to Haeley's favorite charity you subtract $35.

Hence, the final week's gross pay is:

990 - 105 - 60 - 35 = 790

Haeley week's gross pay is $790
