1. marcus johnson worked fifteen hours last week. he is paid $12.75 per hour.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Nick's gross pay

$\text{Gross Pay} = 20 \times 13.35 = 267.00$

Step2: Calculate Nick's total deductions

$\text{Total Deductions} = 20.43 + 64.08 + 13.22 + 15.00 = 112.73$

Step3: Calculate Nick's net pay

$\text{Net Pay} = 267.00 - 112.73 = 154.27$

Step4: Identify Nick's voluntary deduction

Voluntary deductions are optional; Credit Union is voluntary.

Step5: Calculate Megan's gross pay

$\text{Gross Pay} = 23 \times 14.00 = 322.00$

Step6: Calculate Megan's total deductions

$\text{Total Deductions} = 24.63 + 77.28 + 15.94 + 25.00 = 142.85$

Step7: Calculate Megan's net pay

$\text{Net Pay} = 322.00 - 142.85 = 179.15$

Step8: Identify Megan's voluntary deduction

Medical insurance is typically an optional/voluntary deduction.
