A computer programmer is making $25,000 per year. 28% of her salary is withheld for federal and state deductions. How much is the computer programmer’s net pay?
$18,000
$20,000
$7,000
$18,750
Detailed Explanation
Calculate the amount of the deduction by multiplying her salary by the percent deducted: 25,000 × 28% = 25,000 × 0.28 = 7,000. Subtract that product from the salary to determine the net pay: 25,000 – 7,000 = 18,000.
