Answer:

$93

Explanation:

Social security tax is a constant figure of 6.2% for each paycheck.

Tate's annual pay is $36,000. If she is paid twice per month, it means she has 24 paychecks. ( 12 months x 2 payments).

For each payment, she receives, $36,000 divide by 24 paychecks

=$36,000 /24

=$1500

Amount withheld for each paycheck is

=6.2% of $1500

=6.2/100 x 1500

=0.062  X 1500

=$93
