To calculate how much Wendy takes home after taxes, we first need to determine how much is deducted for taxes. Wendy’s total pay is $42,300, and 19% of this amount is taken for taxes.
Here’s how we can calculate it step-by-step:
- Calculate the amount deducted for taxes:
- Convert the percentage from a percentage to a decimal: 19% = 0.19.
- Multiply Wendy’s pay by the decimal: $42,300 * 0.19 = $8,037.
This means Wendy will have $8,037 deducted from her pay for taxes.
Now, we need to find out the remaining amount after the tax deduction:
- Subtract the tax amount from the total pay:
- $42,300 – $8,037 = $34,263.
So, after paying taxes, Wendy’s take-home pay is $34,263.
