Answer

### a. $23\%$

Explain

## Step 1: Calculate the total deductions.<br />### Subtract the net income from the gross income to find the total deductions. $\$1100.00 - \$847.35 = \$252.65$<br /><br />## Step 2: Calculate the percentage of deductions.<br />### Divide the total deductions by the gross income and multiply by 100% to express it as a percentage. $\frac{\$252.65}{\$1100.00} \times 100\% \approx 23\%$
