state income taxes = 2% of gross earnings

voluntary deductions = $20 per month

to find out

net pay for Mike Kohl

solution

we know we have gross earning is $8000

and here

FICA taxes = 7.65% of gross earnings = 7.68 % × 8000 = $612

and

state income tax =  2%  gross earnings = 2% × 8000 = $160

so that

net pay will be

net pay = gross earnings - FICA taxes  - state income tax - federal  income taxes - voluntary deductions

put here all value we get

net pay = 8000 - 612  - 160 - 1270 - 20

so net pay is $5938

88 because 4 plus 4 equals 8. 40 plus 40 equals 80. 80 plus 8 equals 88
