Question

13. Estimate how much money Jonah will make in an 8hr work day if he makes $7.59 per hour but 10% must go to taxes. Please show your work.

Answer 1

It would be $54.65 a day

Answer 2

The hourly rate of $7.59 per hour multiplied by hours gives the gross wages earned. If 10% are taken for taxes then 90% are take home wages.

(0.9)*(8 hr/day) * (7.59 $/hr ) = 54.65 $/day take home pay
