You are paid $10.65/hr. Your deductions are FICA (7.65%), federal tax withholding (9.9%), and state tax withholding (7.35%). Your housing and fixed expenses are $493.68/month. How many hours per month must you work to be sure those expenses are paid? 62 hours

The first option; You must work about 62 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:
