## ashneedhelp one year ago You are paid $8.35/hr at your part-time job. Your deductions are FICA (7.65%), federal tax withholding (9.15%), and state tax withholding (7.5%). Your travel expenses are$6.30 per day worked. You work 16 hours over a 4-day period of time. What is your net income after travel expenses?

@Best_Mathematician

2. Best_Mathematician

this are the same exact questions. What you need is simply change the values. try to do something by your own. i helped you with this type of questions, use the same approach as i did

3. ashneedhelp

i dont know how to set it up

4. Best_Mathematician

first count your total income then subtract the deductions and then subtract travel expenses

5. electrokid

$I_n=\text{income}-\text{deductions}\\ I=8.35{\rm/hr}\times16{\rm hr}=133.6\\ I_n=133.6-\left[{(7.65+9.15+7.5)\over100}\times133.6-6.30\times4\right]\\ I_n=?$

6. ashneedhelp

736.85 is this correct

7. ashneedhelp

@electrokid is this correct

8. electrokid

wait.. my bad.. the last sign should have been plus $I_n=133.6-\left[{(7.65+9.15+7.5)\over100}\times133.6\color{red}{+}6.30\times4\right]\\$

9. ashneedhelp

and can u help me with 4 other questions

10. electrokid

also, the maximum yiu get paid is $133.6, of which you take out the deductions. how can you end up with more than$133.6?

11. ashneedhelp

do i divide by 100 or ?

12. electrokid

what do you mean?

13. electrokid

calculate each term independently

14. ashneedhelp

7.65+9.15+7.5 over 100 do i divide it by 100 or how do i do that portation

15. electrokid

what portation? whenever you see a percent, you divide that by 100

16. electrokid

so, to convert the total percent deduction, you add the percentages and divide it by 100

17. ashneedhelp

ok so i got 21.45

18. electrokid

not right

19. electrokid

7.65+9.15+7.5 = ?

20. ashneedhelp

24.3

21. electrokid

times 133.6

22. ashneedhelp

3246.48

23. electrokid

ok. divided by 100

24. ashneedhelp

32.46

25. electrokid

nice. this was the tax deductions now the third piece, daily travel expenses = 6.3 times 4

26. ashneedhelp

25.2

27. electrokid

nice. now, from the total un-cut wages of \$133.6, tax and travel costs are to be deducted you are left with = 133.6 - 32.46 - 25.2 = ?

28. ashneedhelp

75.94

29. electrokid

good. that is your net income.

30. ashneedhelp

can you help me with 4 other question

31. electrokid

32. ashneedhelp

ok

33. electrokid

the best thing to do would be to post em as new questions so others can follow it too
