Answer:
Her employer should withhold from her check for social security is d) 26.01
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Kate Alexander worked 40 hours last week. Her pay rate is $8.50 per hour. Assuming 7.65% social security withholding.
Now, to find the amount her employer should withhold from her check for social security.
Total number of hours = 40.
Pay rate per hour = $8.50.
Now, the total amount of total number of hours she worked in accordance of her pay rate:
[tex]40\times 8.50\\\\=\$340.[/tex]
Social security withholding = 7.65%.
So, to get the amount of social security withholding:
[tex]7.65\%\ of\ \$340[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{7.65}{100} \times 340[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{2601}{100}[/tex]
[tex]=\$26.01.[/tex]
The amount of social security withholding is $26.01.
Therefore, her employer should withhold from her check for social security is d) 26.01
