The amount Bart paid in social security is $9,630.71

The given parameters;

  • maximum income for $118,500
  • percentage payable for social security, 6.2%
  • first amount earned, = $99,112
  • second amount earned, = $56,222

Each of the amount earned is within the range of 6.2%, since each is less than $118,500

The amount Bart paid in social security is calculated as follows;

[tex]amount \ paid \ = 0.062\times 99,112 \ + \ 0.062 \times 56,222\\\\amount \ paid \ = \$ 9,630.71[/tex]
