Question

Sharon has a yearly salary of $50,310, how much are her weekly payroll deductions if the deduction is 15% ?

Answer 1

take 50310*.15 (sense when you calculate you move decimal over two places to the left) which will equal 7546.5. That's the difference so take that number (7546.5) subtract it from the original salary (50310) and solve. 50310-7546.5=42763.5 and that's your answer :)

Answer 2

the deductions are 7546.5 and the new salary are 42763.5

Answer 3

Okay the real question is what is the weekly payroll deduction if the deduction is 15%. She gets paid $1,048 weekly? But says that the 15% is of the gross salary. I only need to find the weekly payroll deductions.

Answer 4

divide 7546.5 by 52 weeks in a year which is 145.125 per week is taken out

Answer 5

So this is the weekly deduction of 15%?
