If your gross pay (pay before deductions) is $2,200.00 per month, and your take home pay (amount of your pay check) is $1,421.00.

Question: What percent to the nearest tenth of your gross pay is deducted for taxes and other items?

=> 2 200 dollars per month is the total number of gross.

=> 1 421 dollars the only amount you take home.

Let’s solve for the gross pay deducted.

=> 2 200 - 1 421 = 799 dollars

=> 799 dollars / 2 200 dollars = 0.35

=> 0.35 * 100% = 35%

Thus, 35% were deducted to his salary
