Raquel's pay stub has three deductions. What is the total amount of deductions? Round to nearest cent.

Gross Pay(wages) is $1625.35
Medicare is $22.48
Social Security is $52.72
Federal Withholding Income Tax (23%)

Please show me how to work do this problem?

Medi* comes off before taxes, so

22.48 + 52.72 + 0.23(1625.35-22.48-52.72) = 431.73

Thank you

To find the total amount of deductions on Raquel's pay stub, we need to calculate the deductions for Medicare, Social Security, and Federal Withholding Income Tax, and then add them together.

1. Medicare Deduction:
The Medicare deduction is given as $22.48.

2. Social Security Deduction:
The Social Security deduction is given as $52.72.

3. Federal Withholding Income Tax Deduction:
The Federal Withholding Income Tax is calculated as a percentage of the Gross Pay. In this case, it is 23% of $1625.35.

To calculate the Federal Withholding Income Tax deduction:
$1625.35 x 23% = $374.5755 (rounded to four decimal places)
Rounded to the nearest cent: $374.58

Now, we can add up the deductions:
$22.48 (Medicare) + $52.72 (Social Security) + $374.58 (Federal Withholding Income Tax) = $449.78

Therefore, the total amount of deductions on Raquel's pay stub is $449.78 (rounded to the nearest cent).
