If Robert claimed three allowances, his net income after tax withholding would be $207. This also does not match the amount he keeps after tax withholding. Therefore, Robert has not claimed three allowances.
If Robert claimed four allowances, his net income after tax withholding would be $189. This also does not match the amount he keeps after tax withholding. Therefore, Robert has not claimed four allowances.
Therefore, based on the given information, it is not possible to determine the exact number of allowances Robert has claimed.
To find out how many allowances Robert has claimed, we can compare his net income after tax withholding with the given values for different numbers of allowances.
