82%

Answer 1

Answer: Percentage of his gross pay which is take-home pay is 80.35%.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Gross pay of Gavin = $3851

Deduction = $756.72

Amount that take home pay is given by

Gross pay - Deduction

`=\$3851-\$756.72\\\\=\$3094.28`

Percentage of his gross pay which is take - home pay is given by

`(Amount\ take\ home\ pay)/(Gross\ pay)* 100\\\\=(3094.28)/(3851)* 100\\\\=80.35\%`

Hence, Percentage of his gross pay which is take-home pay is 80.35%.

Answer 2

Percentage take home pay = (gross pay - deductions) / gross pay x 100
% take-home = (3851 - 756.62) / 3851 x 100
% take-home = 80%
