Last month, Belinda worked 160 hours at a rate of $10.00 per hour. If her employer retains 9% of her gross salary, is $1,500 a reasonable estimate of her net salary?

A. Yes, because her salary will be a bit more than 1600 - 160 = 1440.
B. No, because retaining 10% of her salary would leave her with about $1,350.
C. Yes, because $1,500 is close to 1600 - (10 x 9) = 1510.
D. No, because $1,300 is a better estimate.

Answer:

for $10.00 per hour for 160 hours, Belinda would make $1600. But her employer takes 9% of it. we can round 9% to 10%. 10% of $1600 is $160.

so A. Yes, because her salary will be a bit more than $1600-160=1440

The answer is A.
Her whole monthly salary is $160x10= $1600
9% of 1600 = 1600 x 9/100 = $144
1600-144= $1456
1456 > 1600 - 160 = 1440
