Tonya works part time in a store at the mall. She is paid about $200 per week before taxes and Social Security. Tonya pays about $40 out of each weekly check for taxes and Social Security total. What percent of the $200 weekly pay is Tonya paying for taxes and Social Security?

Sagot :

Basically, the percent of the pay check would be 40 over 200.  The number you get is then multiplied by 100 to get the percentage:

40 / 200 = 0.2

0.2 in percentage form is 0.2 x 100 = 20%.

Tonya pays 20% of her weekly check for taxes and Social Security.
