How is James’ net pay calculated? Show the steps.
Net pay is calculated by subtracting all deductions from the gross pay. Steps: 1) Add all deductions: $200.00 + $124.00 + $29.00 + $50.00 + $75.00 + $100 = $578.00. 2) Subtract total deductions from gross pay: $2,000 - $578.00 = $1,422.00.
Net pay is calculated by adding all deductions to the gross pay. Steps: 1) Add all deductions: $200.00 + $124.00 + $29.00 + $50.00 + $75.00 + $100 = $578.00. 2) Add total deductions to gross pay: $2,000 + $578.00 = $2,578.00.
Net pay is calculated by multiplying all deductions by the gross pay. Steps: 1) Multiply all deductions: $200.00 * $124.00 * $29.00 * $50.00 * $75.00 * $100. 2) Multiply result by gross pay: $2,000 * (product of deductions).
Net pay is calculated by dividing gross pay by the number of deductions. Steps: 1) Count deductions: 6. 2) Divide gross pay by number of deductions: $2,000 / 6 = $333.33.
