@Awolflover1

OpenStudy (will.h):

@jiteshmeghwal9 can't be correct you are calculating the total amount including the retirement contribution

OpenStudy (will.h):

how many weeks in a year?

OpenStudy (awesomedude2078):

about 52

OpenStudy (will.h):

okay so we will find the annual salary 1st

OpenStudy (will.h):

478 * 52 = 24856

OpenStudy (awesomedude2078):

478 X 52 =

OpenStudy (awesomedude2078):

WOW you type fast

OpenStudy (will.h):

so if the annual salary is 24856 dollars and they take 6.5% out of it for the retirment that means 24856*0.065 (we are calculating how much they taking annually) 1615.64 dollars is how much they take in annually now To find the weekly we will have to divide that by 52 1615.64/52 = 31.07 Make sense?

OpenStudy (will.h):

if there's something you don't get just ask

OpenStudy (will.h):

anyway tag me if there is. i don't get notifications unless when people tag me
