James earns $15 per hour as a teller at a bank. In one week he pays 17% of his earnings in state and federal taxes. His take-home pay for the week is $460.65. Write an equation to represent the problem.

Hi there!

An equation to represent how he got $460.65 as take home pay is:

15x - (.17× (15x) ) = 460.65

15x tells us how much money he earned in total. We also multiply that by .17 to determine how much goes to taxes. Then, we subtract taxes from total, and put that equal to our take home pay

Hope this helps
