Step-by-step explanation:

Zurab's salary per month = $1,986.00

Federal income tax = 15% of 1,986.00

= 0.15 × 1,986.00 = $297.90

Social security tax = 6.2% of 1,986.00

= 0.062 × 1,986.00 = $123.132

Medicare Tax = 1.45% of 1,986.00

= 0.0145 × 1,986.00 = $28.797

Health insurance premium per month = $48.00

Per month savings plan = 2% of 1,986.00

= 0.02 × 1,986.00 = $39.72

Zurab's total withheld from his salary =

297.90 + 123.132 + 28.797 + 48.00 + 39.72 = $537.549
