If everyone works 25 days a month and 8 hours a day, how much does Janet owe total for their wages and taxes for one month? | First figure out how many hours each worker works per month by multiplying the number of days they work by the number of hours a day they work: 25 days * 8 hours/day = 200 hours
Then calculate how much one warehouse worker makes per month by multiplying their hourly rate by the number of hours they work: 200 hours * $15/hour = $3000
Then multiply that number by 4 to find out how much all the warehouse workers make: $3000/worker * 4 workers = $12,000
Now multiply the hours each manager works (also 200) by their hourly wage to find out how much one manager makes per month: 200 hours * $20/hour = $4,000
Now multiply one manager's wages by the number of managers (2) to find their total wage amount: $4,000/manager * 2 managers = $8,000
Now add the wages for the managers and the workers to find the total cost of the wages: $8,000 + $12,000 = $20,000
Now multiply the total wage bill by 10% to find how much the FICA taxes are: $20,000 * .1 = $2,000
Now add the total wage bill to the total tax amount to find the grand total: $2,000 + $20,000 = $22,000
