Question

Jennifer earns a gross pay of $37,000/year. She gets paid monthly. Her deductions are 27% of her gross monthly salary. What is her net monthly salary?

Answer 1

first, divide 37K by 12
then obtain (100-27) % of that amount

Answer 2

I believe I understand what it's asking...
$37,000/12=$3,083.33
$3,083.33*.27=$832.50
$3,08333-$832.50=$2,250.83
So I believe the answer is $2,250.83

Answer 3

to reduce the number of steps
you can multiply 3083.33 by 0.73
because 100-27 = 73 and 73% to decimal is 0.73
