When a problem in percent is presented, often it has the word of in it. For example, in this problem, "His total deductions are 30% of his pay." When the word of is used in this manner, it means times. So 0.30 x 2080 = the amount deducted.

To calculate the amount deducted from Angelo's pay each month, we start by finding 30% of his pay.

Step 1: Calculate 30% of $2,080
To find 30% of a number, we multiply the number by 30% (or 0.30).

30% of $2,080 = $2,080 x 0.30

Step 2: Perform the calculation
$2,080 x 0.30 = $624.00

Therefore, the amount deducted from Angelo's pay each month is $624.00.

So, the correct answer is B. $624.00.
