Patricia earns an annual gross salary of $19,500. If she has $7,550
withheld annually for deductions, what percent of her salary is
withheld for deductions?
a. 37.8
b. 19.5
c. 25.8
d. 38.7
To find the percent of her salary withheld for deductions, we need to divide the amount withheld by her gross salary and then multiply by 100:
