OpenStudy (knightofpentacles):

yes

OpenStudy (knightofpentacles):

please explain the process x-x

OpenStudy (hyperlunatic):

i am really sorry, but I don't understand what net pay is. @Prince1342 @Austin1617 @YoungStudier @YoungStudier @help_people @human_lover these are some people that might be able to help...

OpenStudy (knightofpentacles):

lol..

OpenStudy (hyperlunatic):

@qwinkimberly @Insatiable

OpenStudy (knightofpentacles):

this is pre-algebra xD

OpenStudy (hyperlunatic):

@24/7

OpenStudy (hyperlunatic):

, THATS WHAT IM DOIN AND I HAVEN'T GOT THAT FAR

OpenStudy (hyperlunatic):

didny mean all caps

OpenStudy (prince1342):

net pay will be his annual income

OpenStudy (knightofpentacles):

thats where im stuck at

OpenStudy (prince1342):

Wait not im wrong, Net pay is the amount of pay remaining for issuance to an employee after deductions have been taken from the individual's gross pay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got around 304 dollars a month

OpenStudy (knightofpentacles):

way off ;-;

OpenStudy (prince1342):

So basically, his annual income of money is 32,022. But because of taxes and bills, he has to subtract that money.

OpenStudy (knightofpentacles):

A- 2668.50 B- 2313.50 C- 1231.35 D- 3213.50

OpenStudy (prince1342):

You would mulitply 355 by 12 (The amount of months in a year) and then subtract your result by 32,022

OpenStudy (knightofpentacles):

thats what i did

OpenStudy (knightofpentacles):

but its not part of the choices'

OpenStudy (prince1342):

Hmmm well they want to know what he earns each month, when the deductions are done

OpenStudy (prince1342):

Your answer is B

OpenStudy (knightofpentacles):

How???

OpenStudy (prince1342):

divide 32,022 by 12. By doing this you get $2668.5. That is how much he makes each month. But we need to deduct it to get his net pay. So all you would do is subtract that by 355 and you would get 2313.5

OpenStudy (prince1342):

Which is answer choice B

OpenStudy (prince1342):

The question can be a little tricky but the key word is PER MONTH so it isn't annual

OpenStudy (knightofpentacles):

i figured that

OpenStudy (knightofpentacles):

i did this several ways though

OpenStudy (prince1342):

Well this is the only right way for this question

OpenStudy (knightofpentacles):

theres one more

OpenStudy (prince1342):

?

OpenStudy (knightofpentacles):

mr smith says that about 17% of his income goes to income taxes. if mr smith makes 375 a week 52 weeks a year approximately how much income tax does he pay in a year?

OpenStudy (prince1342):

The number 52 is to throw you off. There are about 52 weeks in a year, so multiply 375 by 52 and you would get, 19,500. That is how much he makes a year. (Less than the last guy). No lets get 17% pf 19,500. That would give us 3,315.

OpenStudy (knightofpentacles):

wow...

OpenStudy (knightofpentacles):

precisely b

OpenStudy (knightofpentacles):

all of the trick questions on my exam pisses me off

OpenStudy (prince1342):

Yeah it can get really annoying, it just takes rereading the question until it finally hits you

OpenStudy (knightofpentacles):

i follow through the process only to be altered by the situation that's given

OpenStudy (prince1342):

Yep, I hate math hahah

OpenStudy (knightofpentacles):

but your well suited though

OpenStudy (prince1342):

Thanks!!!

OpenStudy (knightofpentacles):

i have giant notebook with majority of pre-ged charts

OpenStudy (knightofpentacles):
