Answer 1

Using the values given for the take home and tax as 227% , we assumed a gross pay of x value and found the gross pay to be $1923.076

Calculation of Tax

Given Data

Take home pay = $1500

Tax = 22% of gross

Let the gross pay be x

Hence, let us find 22% of x

= 22/100*x

=0.22x

Amount of pay = 0.22x

We know that the Take home pay is  = Gross - Tax

 

Substituting our data we have

1500 = x-0.22x

1500 = 0.78x

Divide both sides by 0.78

x = 1500/0.78

x = $1923.076
