Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Rachel Anderson's gross biweekly pay as a quality control inspector is $812. Her earnings to date for the year total $32,435.What amount does her employer deduct from her pay for Medicare taxes ?  

• The portion of the Medicare tax is equal to 1.45 percent each
• So dividing 1.45 by 100 we get 0.0145.  
• Now if Rachel Anderson’s gross biweekly pay is $812, so we need to multiply $812 by 0.0145
• So 812 x 0.0145
•   = $ 11.774
• So the employer has to deduct $ 11.77 from her pay for Medicare taxes.
