Question 51

Georgia's take-home pay is $613 per week.

To determine Georgia's take-home pay, we first calculate the total deductions from her weekly earnings of $1,200, which include federal tax, state tax, and a contribution to the vacation club. After subtracting these deductions from her gross pay, her take-home pay amounts to $613.

A) 613

This option is correct. By calculating the total deductions from Georgia's weekly earnings of $1,200, we find that her federal tax (32% of $1,200) is $384, her state tax (6.5% of $1,200) is $78, and her vacation club contribution is $125. Therefore, the total deductions amount to $384 + $78 + $125 = $587. Subtracting this from her gross pay gives $1,200 - $587 = $613.

B) 745

This option is incorrect. If we consider this amount as take-home pay, it implies that the deductions would be $1,200 - $745 = $455. However, the total deductions calculated are $587, which shows that this option does not accurately reflect the deductions made from her earnings.

C) 801

This option is also incorrect. If Georgia's take-home pay were $801, it would suggest that her deductions amount to $1,200 - $801 = $399. Again, this does not align with the calculated total deductions of $587, proving this option incorrect.

D) 910

This option is incorrect as well. A take-home pay of $910 indicates that the deductions would be $1,200 - $910 = $290. This amount does not match the total deductions of $587, thus making this option invalid.

Conclusion

Georgia's take-home pay is definitively $613 after accounting for all deductions, which include federal and state taxes along with her vacation club contribution. All other options fail to align with the correct deductions calculated, reinforcing that $613 is the accurate representation of her net pay.
