Question

Delaney makes $7.85 per hour She worked 20 hours last week Delaney had payroll deductions for $32 for federal state and local taxes and Social Security what was the ladies take home pay

Answer 1

Answer:

$125

Explanation:

Take home pay is the amount of earning that a person receives after making all the adjustment and deductions. Taxes and other deduction are made in the gross pay to calculate the net pay or take home pay.

Gross pay = Numbers of hours x Hourly rate = 20 hours x $7.85 = $157 for the week

Net Pay / Take home pay = Gross pay - Tax deduction = $157 - $32 = $125

Answer 2

Answer:

$125

Explanation:

Given that

Delaney makes $7.85 per hour

Delaney works for 20 hours

Thus,

Gross pay = amount per hour × number of hours worked

= 7.85 × 20

= $ 157.

She earns $157 in a week.

However,

Take home salary/Net pay = Gross income - deductibles

Where

Deductibles in form of taxes = $32

Therefore,

Take home = 157 - 32

= $125

Note that, take home pay refers to the remaining amount of an individual's pay or income after deductions (taxes, benefits etc.)
