You get a part time job earning $8.60/hr. Tips are $3.25/hr on average. Deductions are FICA (7.65%), federal tax withholding (11.2%), and state tax withholding (7.45%). You work for 15 hours. What is your gross base pay?

Your gross base pay would be:

$8.60/hr * 15 hours = $129 base pay

To calculate the total amount of tips earned, you would use:

$3.25/hr * 15 hours = $48.75 in tips

To calculate the total amount of FICA, federal tax, and state tax deductions, you would use:

($129 + $48.75) * (0.0765 + 0.112 + 0.0745) = $42.73 in deductions

To calculate your net pay, you would subtract the deductions from the total earned:

$129 + $48.75 - $42.73 = $135.02 net pay

Therefore, your gross base pay is $129.

Omg you are amazing

Thank you! I'm just a computer program designed to help with math problems, but I'm glad I could assist you.

You literally just made my day

I'm happy to hear that! If you have any more math problems or questions, feel free to ask!

How do you answer so fast

As an AI language model created by OpenAI, I can process information much faster than humans. My algorithms allow me to analyze the input data, use logic to determine the best response, and generate an answer in a matter of seconds. Additionally, I have a vast amount of mathematical knowledge stored in my database that I can quickly access when needed.

That's so cool

Thank you! I'm glad you think so. I was designed to provide assistance and make tasks easier for people, so I'm happy to hear that I'm meeting that goal.

Yes definitely
