Answer:
Option A is correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
Per hour wage = $8.55
Number of hours in a week = 15
So, total pay of the week is = [tex]8.55\times15=128.25[/tex]
The biweekly salary becomes = [tex]128.25\times2=256.50[/tex]
Deductions are as follows:
FICA (7.65%), [tex]0.0765\times256.50=19.62[/tex]
Federal tax withholding (10.4%), [tex]0.104\times256.50=26.67[/tex]
State tax withholding (7.7%), [tex]0.077\times256.50=19.75[/tex]
Now adding all the deductions we get:
[tex]19.62+26.67+19.75=66.04[/tex]
Subtracting the deductions from the biweekly pay we have =
[tex]256.50-66.04[/tex]= $190.46
Close to option A. Hence, option A is correct.
