Answer
a. 52.80
b. 187.20
Work Step by Step
a. Whole= 240, percent= 22. Find the part.
$\frac{x}{240}=\frac{22}{100}$
Write the fraction in the lowest terms:
$\frac{x}{240}=\frac{11}{50}$
Cross products:
$50x=2640$
Solve for x. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary:
$x=52.80$
b. Subtract the amount withheld from the total income earned.
$240-52.8=187.20$
