How do i calculate percentage taken from income paid?

Question

Is there a formula? Its for year ten maths budgeting...

A guy may earn $23 600 per year, and $3896 is taken out of tax. How do i calculate the percentage taken out? The answer is 16.5% but i have no idea how to do the calculation..

Answer 1

Divide the Part by the Whole and multiply by 100.

3896 / 23600 * 100 = 16.5%

Answer 2

let:

c1 = percentage taken
c2 = percentage remaining
i = income (dolloars) paid
t = dollars taken out

c1 = 100 * t / i
c2 = 100 * (i - t) / i

looks right; notice that
c1 + c2 = 100.

The entire income is 100 pecent"
which is the sum of the "amount taken" and "the amount remaining"

Answer 3

take the bigger number, divided by the smaller number and mutiply it by 100 to get 16.5% so in this case there is 16.5% taxes taken off your cheque
