Vic pays $2,134 in state taxes per year. If he is paid biweekly,
how much is withheld from his paycheck for state taxes each pay
period?
a. $82.08
b. $88.92
c. $41.04
d. $177.83
To solve this problem, we need to divide the annual state taxes by the number of pay periods in a year. Since Vic is paid biweekly, there are 26 pay periods in a year (52 weeks ÷ 2). Therefore:
$2,134 ÷ 26 = $82.08
So the answer is (a) $82.08.
