OpenStudy (anonymous):

first ...how do you find how much you made?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multipl 7.75*11 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes exactly ..sorry i was afk emergency

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so go ahead and multiply that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

85.25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that is right ...now to get the tax total what do you need to do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you add all the tax together bc you want to add the tax at the same time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24.60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i subtract 24.60 from 85.25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24.60 percent ...is actually .2460 and no ..you need to multiply it ...and then subtract what you get from the total

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i multiply 85.25 *.2460 then subtract that from ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is 20.97

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the total amount of income...you multiply it to find out how much total tax there is ....bc the decimal is a percent and you want to take off the percentage of the total

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 85.25- 20.97 is my net income right !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep :) if thats how much tax you got

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Idk if its right tho i multiplied 85.25 *.2460 and got 20.97 then i subtracted 85.25-20.97
