If
your gross pay (pay before deductions) is $2,200.00 per month, and your take
home pay (amount of your pay check) is $1,421.00.
Question: What percent to the nearest tenth of your gross pay is deducted for
taxes and other items?
=> 2 200 dollars per month is the total number of gross.
=> 1 421 dollars the only amount you take home.
Let’s solve for the gross pay deducted.
=> 2 200 – 1 421 = 799 dollars
=> 799 dollars / 2 200 dollars = 0.35
=> 0.35 * 100% = 35%
Thus, 35% were deducted to his salary
