Explanation / Answer

1) First calculate her weekly pay: 32 hours x $9 per hour = $288 gross per week

2) Next use table 7.1 to find the withholding amount for her weekly paycheck: it is $73.08

3) Subtract this withholding from her gross pay: $288 - $73.08 = $214.92

4) Now use table 7.2 to find the withholding amount for a single person. It is in the far left corner. It says a single person paid weekly who makes OVER $209 but NOT OVER $721 pays the withholding tax amount of $16.80 plus 15% of any excess over $209
