Ans:$569.88 is Correct Answer

Explanation:

Gross earnings = $15 * 40 + $15 * 1.5 * 6 = $735

Federal income tax = $110

Social security tax = 6% * $735 = $44.10

Medicare tax = 1.5% * $735 = $11.02

Net pay = $735 - $110 - $44.10 - $11.02 = $569.88

State & federal unemployment compensation tax deductions can be ignored as the cumulative earnings have already exceeded $7,000.
