  1. Calculate the total weekly tax deductions:<\/strong>Total\u00a0weekly\u00a0taxes=$83.00\u00a0(federal)+$38.00\u00a0(state)+$79.00\u00a0(Social\u00a0Security)=$200.00\\text{Total weekly taxes} = \\$83.00 \\text{ (federal)} + \\$38.00 \\text{ (state)} + \\$79.00 \\text{ (Social Security)} = \\$200.00Total\u00a0weekly\u00a0taxes=$83.00\u00a0(federal)+$38.00\u00a0(state)+$79.00\u00a0(Social\u00a0Security)=$200.00<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Calculate the weekly net income (income after taxes):<\/strong>Weekly\u00a0net\u00a0income=$800.00\u00a0(gross\u00a0income)\u2212$200.00\u00a0(total\u00a0taxes)=$600.00\\text{Weekly net income} = \\$800.00 \\text{ (gross income)} – \\$200.00 \\text{ (total taxes)} = \\$600.00Weekly\u00a0net\u00a0income=$800.00\u00a0(gross\u00a0income)\u2212$200.00\u00a0(total\u00a0taxes)=$600.00<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Calculate the total net income for 4 weeks:<\/strong>Total\u00a0net\u00a0income\u00a0for\u00a04\u00a0weeks=$600.00\u00a0(weekly\u00a0net\u00a0income)\u00d74=$2,400.00\\text{Total net income for 4 weeks} = \\$600.00 \\text{ (weekly net income)} \\times 4 = \\$2,400.00Total\u00a0net\u00a0income\u00a0for\u00a04\u00a0weeks=$600.00\u00a0(weekly\u00a0net\u00a0income)\u00d74=$2,400.00<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
