Explanation:

Gross pay refers to salary before taxation. We were given Chuck's salary before tax to be $815.70

Gross pay = $815.70

The following items were withheld:

Federal tax = $56,

Social security tax = 6.2% of gross pay = 0.062 * 815.70 = $50.57

Medicare tax = 1.45% of gross pay = 0.0145 * 815.70 = $11.83

State tax = 19% of Federal tax = 0.19 * 56 = $10.64

To calculate how much of Chuck's salary will be withheld, we have the summation of all the items withheld

Total reduction = $ (56 + 50.57 + 11.83 + 10.64)

Total reduction = $129.04

Hence, $129.04 will be reduced from Chuck's gross pay
