The answer is His gross pay multiplied by the FICA tax. The tax should be in a decimal so it will look like .062.  The answer will be $114.45.

Answer:

Total FICA tax deducted from gross pay is $ 141 .22 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Mira's gross pay is $1846.  


The Social Security tax is 6.2% of gross pay.

6.2% is written in the decimal form.

\(= \frac{6.2}{100}\)

= 0.062

Social Security tax = 0.062 × Gross pay

                               = 0.062 × 1846

                               = $ 114.452

As given

The Medicare tax is 1.45% of gross pay.

1.45% is written in the decimal form .

= 0.0145

Medicure tax = 0.0145 × Gross pay

                      = 0.0145 × 1846

                      = $ 26.767

Total FICA tax deducted from Gross pay = Social Security tax + Medicure tax

                                                                    = $114.452+ $26.767

                                                                    = $141.219

                                                                    = $141.22 (Approx)

Therefore the total FICA tax deducted from gross pay is $ 141 .22 .
