Answer:

Hourly wage of the Darren is $22.28 .

Explanation:

As given

Darren earned $663.26 in net pay for working 38 hours.

Darren paid $118.51 in federal and state income taxes, and $64.75 in fica taxes.

Total earning of Darren = Net pay + Federal and state tax + fica tax

= $663.26 + $118.51 + $64.75

= $ 846.52

$Darren\ hourly\ wage = (Total\ earning)/(Number\ of\ hours)$

$Darren\ hourly\ wage = (846.52)/(38)$

= $ 22.28

Therefore the hourly wage of the Darren is $22.28 .
