Answer:

$6,960.54

Explanation:

Gross payment = $9,188

Social security tax = 6.2% × $9,188 = $569.66

Medicare tax = 1.45% × $9,188 = $133.23

Federal income tax = $1,524.57

So, Net Pay = Gross Payment - Federal Income Tax- Social security Tax -Medicare Tax

By putting the value, we get

= $9,188 - $1,524.57 - $569.66 -  $133.23

= $6,960.54
