Given:
An operator in the plant has a monthly salary of $2575
33% is deducted for income tax.
Determine the tax that is deducted, and how much salary is left.
Solution:
In order to determine the tax that is deducted, and how much salary is left, we can start by converting the percentage into decimal. In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.
=33/100
=0.33
Now we multiply 0.33 by the total monthly salary to determine the income tax.
Income = (0.33)($2575)
Income Tax= $849.75
By subtracting the income tax to the total salary, we can determine how much money is left.
= $2575 -$849.75
Money left= $1725.25
Final answer:
Income Tax= $849.75
Money left= $1725.25
