Write an equation to show how to calculate the total amount Sam pays in payroll tax.
$800 + $112.50 + $24.25 + $12.90 = $949.65
$112.50 + $24.25 + $12.90 = $149.65
$112.50 + $24.25 - $12.90 = $123.85
Use your solution in Exercise 1 to write an equation to calculate Sam’s pay after taxes if his total earnings are $800.
$800 − 123.85 = $676.15
$800 − $149.65 = $749.65
$800 − $149.65 = $650.35
