The hourly wage of the Farrell is $24.06 .

Option (A) is correct .

Total deduction for FICA tax is $141.22 .

Option (C) is correct .

Step-by-step explanation:

First part

As given

Farrell earned $754.16 in net pay for working 40 hours.

He paid $134.76 in federal and state income taxes,and $73.64 in FICA taxes.

Total gross pay =  Net pay + Federal tax + State income taxes.

Putting all the values in the above

Total gross pay = $754.16 + $134.76 + $73.64

                          = $ 962.56

Hourly wage = 24.06 (Approx)

The hourly wage of the Farrell is $24.06 .

Option (A) is correct .

Second part

Mira's gross pay is $1846.

The social security tax is 6.2% of gross pay.

6.2% is written in the decimal form .

= 0.062

Social security tax = 0.062 × Gross pay

                                = 0.062 × $1846

                                = $ 114.452

The medicare tax is 1.45% of gross pay .

1.45% is written in the decimal form .

= 0.0145

Medicare tax = 0.0145× Gross pay

                                = 0.0145 × $1846

                                = $ 26.767

Thus

Total deducted for FICA tax =  Social security tax +  Medicare tax

Putting the values in the above

Total deducted for FICA tax = $114.452+ $26.767

                                              = $ 141.22 (Approx)

Therefore total deduction for FICA tax is $141.22 .

Option (C) is correct .
