Question 921551: payroll deduction compromise 25% of the gross income of a student working part-time. If his deductions total $200, what is the gross income?
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
G = gross income


25% of gross income = total deductions


25% of gross income = $200


25% of G = $200


0.25*G = 200


G = 200/0.25


G = 800


The student's gross income is $800


Note: this is assuming that payroll deductions are the only deductions
