a. $157.67
Explanation:
>> net income (total amount without the taxes etc...)
. biweekly = $575.50
. per month = $575.50 * 2 = $1,151 (~since it happens 2 times per month)
. per year = $1,151 * 12 = $13,812
>> gross income (total amount with the taxes etc...)
. per year = $17,500
>> amount deducted (~going to taxes etc...)
. per year = $17,500 - $13,812 = $3,688
. per month = $3,688 / 12 =~ $307.33
. per paycheck = $307.33 / 2 =~ $153.67
