An employee earns ₱24,000 a month, and 9% of the salary is deducted for contributions. How much is deducted?
Correct answer: B. ₱2,160
9% of ₱24,000 = 0.09 × 24,000 = ₱2,160. A quick check: 10% is ₱2,400 and 1% is ₱240, so 9% is ₱2,400 − ₱240 = ₱2,160. The employee's take-home pay before other deductions is ₱21,840.
