I think I did:  Here is what it said, but I'm making sure I'm right.
Gross       w/Ben       Benefits   % of Gross Pay (Benefits/Gross)
32600	33600	1000	        0.030674847
32900	34000	1100	        0.03343465
33400	33900	500          0.01497006
33700	34700	1000	        0.029673591
B is the correct answer
