WAGE---$ 17.00-an hour---------ANUALLY---28,285.28

APARTMENT VALUE 17.34hrs/pay period towards an apartment value of $934/month----ANUALLY---$11,208----TOTAL-------$39,493.28.

My question is: first of all, I get, 17X40= $2,720-not 28,285.28, above. ALSO, I am trying to break down THE WAGE MINUS THE $ 11, 208, ANUALLY.

I know it says 7.34 hrs pay period towards an apartment vaule of, $934.

Can you please help me break these numbers down so that I can arrive at how these numbers were figured out, please???

I really appreciate your help. Thank you.

Sure, let's break down the numbers step by step so you can understand how they were calculated.

1. Wage Calculation:
You mentioned that your wage is $17.00 per hour, and you work 40 hours per week. To calculate your weekly wage, you multiply your hourly wage by the number of hours worked: $17.00/hour * 40 hours/week = $680.00/week.

Now, to calculate the annual wage, you need to multiply the weekly wage by the number of weeks in a year. There are approximately 52 weeks in a year: $680.00/week * 52 weeks/year = $35,360.00/year.

It seems like the figure you mentioned ($28,285.28) may be incorrect, as it doesn't align with the calculations above.

2. Apartment Value Calculation:
You stated that $17.34 is deducted from each pay period towards an apartment value of $934 per month.

To calculate the deduction per pay period, you need to divide the monthly value by the number of pay periods in a month. Assuming there are two pay periods in a month, the calculation would be: $934/month รท 2 pay periods = $467.00/pay period.

Now, to calculate the annual deduction, you need to multiply the deduction per pay period by the number of pay periods in a year. Assuming there are 26 pay periods in a year (bi-weekly pay), the calculation would be: $467.00/pay period * 26 pay periods/year = $12,142.00/year.

3. Wage Minus Apartment Value Calculation:
To calculate your wage after deducting the annual apartment value, you subtract the annual deduction from your annual wage: $35,360.00/year - $12,142.00/year = $23,218.00/year.

It's important to note that it seems there might be some incorrect figures or missing information in the initial question. However, based on the information provided, these are the calculations and breakdowns you could perform to get the results mentioned above.
