To prove
Formula
[tex]Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times 100}{Total\ value}[/tex]
As given
Joseph earns $1070 monthly. Of that, $160.50 is withheld for taxes.
Here Total value = $1070
Part value = $160.50
Put in the formula
[tex]Percentage = \frac{160.50\times 100}{1070}[/tex]
[tex]Percentage = \frac{1605}{1070}[/tex]
Percentage = 1.5 %
Therefore 1.5 % of Joseph's earnings is withheld .
