    Answer: $6.96

    Explanation:

    Weekly earning = $480

    Medicare tax rate = 1.45%

    1.45% = (1.45/100) = 0.0145

    Medicare contribution = Medicare tax rate * weekly earning

    Medicare contribution = 0.0145 * $480 Medicare contribution = $6.96

    The employees weekly contribution that is apportioned for Medicare is $6.96
