Paycheck after deductions 2014-02-23
From Louise:
So I got a paycheck for 89.02 they took out in deductions 15.69. I want to know the percentage they are taking out so that I can figure my take home pay each week before I get it. So I know what to expect for pay each week so I can budget my bills from now on a weekly basis. If I know the percentage than I can just figure out the percentage through how many hours in the week I worked and multiply my gross pay and know what my take home will be

for example gross pay $1359, EI= $64, Fed Tax=$129, Prov tax = $35

these numbers I have provided are random but I think you can get the idea

A price reduction and a discount 2008-09-11
From Rita:
A store advertises that during its Labor Day sale $15 will be deducted from every purchase over $100. In addition, after the deduction is taken, the store offers an early-bird discount of 20% to any person who makes a purchase before 10 a.m. If Hakeem makes a purchase of x dollars, x > 100, at 8 a.m., what, in terms of x, is the cost of Hakeem's purchase?

(1) 0.20x - 15 (3) 0.85x - 20
(2) 0.20x -3 (4) 0.80x - 12
