The gross income of Ginger Hughes is $215 per week. Her deductions are: $15.16, FICA tax; $29.33,

income tax; 2% state tax; 1% city tax; and 3% retirement fund. What is her net income?
Please explain to me

15.16 + 29.33 = d

215 * 0.02 = i

215 * 0.01 = c

215 * 0.03 = r

Add d, i, c, and r.

Subtract from 215.

To calculate Ginger Hughes' net income, we need to subtract her deductions from her gross income.

1. Start with the gross income: $215.00

2. Calculate the total deductions by adding up all the deductions: FICA tax + income tax + state tax + city tax + retirement fund
FICA tax: $15.16
Income tax: $29.33
State tax: (2/100) * $215
City tax: (1/100) * $215
Retirement fund: (3/100) * $215

State tax = (2/100) * $215 = $4.30
City tax = (1/100) * $215 = $2.15
Retirement fund = (3/100) * $215 = $6.45

Total deductions = $15.16 + $29.33 + $4.30 + $2.15 + $6.45 = $57.39

3. Calculate the net income by subtracting the total deductions from the gross income:
Net income = Gross income - Total deductions
Net income = $215 - $57.39 = $157.61

Therefore, Ginger Hughes' net income is $157.61.
