Question

: a pharmacy technician had a gross income of $57,250 last year. if 18.3% of his income got withheld for federal income tax, how much of the pharmacy technician's pay got withheld for federal income tax last year

Answer 1

it's simply asking how much 18.3% of 57,250 is

so you'd multiply 18.3% * 57,250, or as a decimal, (18.3/100) * 57,250
