Answer

Total earnings = 20 × 40 =800.Total taxes withheld = 83 +19 = 102. Total check =800 - 102 =698.The correct answer is $698, but none of the provided options match this value. Therefore, the correct option is not listed among the choices.

Explanation

To solve this problem, we need to calculate the total earnings for the week and then subtract the taxes withheld.1. Calculating Total Earnings: The job pays 20 per hour, and the carpenter worked 40 hours last week. Therefore, total earnings = Hourly rate × Hours worked =20 × 40.2. Calculating Taxes Withheld: The taxes withheld include 83 for federal tax and19 for state tax. Therefore, total taxes withheld = Federal tax + State tax = 83 +19.3. Calculating the Total Check: The total check is the total earnings minus the total taxes withheld. Total check = Total earnings - Total taxes withheld.Now, let's compute these values.
