Let's walk through the calculation for part (e) of your homework, which asks for your **weekly net pay**.

### Given:
- Hourly wage: **$12.00**
- Hours worked per week: **25 hours**
- Federal tax: **10%** of gross pay
- FICA tax: **7.65%** of gross pay
- State tax: **3%** of gross pay

#### Step-by-step breakdown:

1. **Gross weekly pay**:
   \[
   \text{Gross Pay} = 12.00 \, \text{dollars/hour} \times 25 \, \text{hours} = 300 \, \text{dollars}
   \]

2. **Federal tax** (10% of gross pay):
   \[
   \text{Federal tax} = 0.10 \times 300 = 30 \, \text{dollars}
   \]

3. **FICA tax** (7.65% of gross pay):
   \[
   \text{FICA tax} = 0.0765 \times 300 = 22.95 \, \text{dollars}
   \]

4. **State tax** (3% of gross pay):
   \[
   \text{State tax} = 0.03 \times 300 = 9 \, \text{dollars}
   \]

5. **Total tax withheld**:
   \[
   \text{Total tax withheld} = 30 \, (\text{Federal}) + 22.95 \, (\text{FICA}) + 9 \, (\text{State}) = 61.95 \, \text{dollars}
   \]

6. **Net weekly pay**:
   \[
   \text{Net Pay} = 300 \, (\text{Gross Pay}) - 61.95 \, (\text{Total tax withheld}) = 238.05 \, \text{dollars}
   \]

### Final answer: The weekly net pay is **$238.05**.

1. How would your net pay change if you worked 30 hours per week instead?
2. What would be your annual gross and net pay if you worked 52 weeks in a year?
3. How much total tax is withheld over a month (4 weeks)?
4. What percentage of your gross pay is taken in taxes?
5. How would the calculations change if you received a raise to $14 per hour?

**Tip**: Always confirm your calculations by breaking down each tax percentage from the gross pay before subtracting.

You decide to work part-time at a local supermarket. The job pays $12.00 per hour and you work 25 hours per week. Your employer withholds 10% of your gross pay for federal taxes, 7.65% for FICA taxes, and 3% for state taxes. Complete parts (a) through (e).

This problem walks through calculating the gross and net pay for a part-time worker. It includes tax calculations for federal (10%), FICA (7.65%), and state taxes (3%), and demonstrates step-by-step how to compute the weekly net pay from a $12/hour wage working 25 hours per week.
