Trevor's total employment compensation is \( \$ 33,500 \). If Trevor has no job expenses and his gross pay is \( \$ 28,600 \), then his total employee benelits are \( \% \) of his gross pay. a. 4.9 b. 8.5 c. 14.6 d. 17.1

1. Calculate the total employee benefits by subtracting gross pay from total compensation: \[ \text{Employee benefits} = \$33,\!500 - \$28,\!600 = \$4,\!900 \] 2. Express the benefits as a percent of the gross pay: \[ \text{Percent} = \left(\frac{\$4,\!900}{\$28,\!600}\right) \times 100 \] 3. Simplify the fraction: \[ \frac{4,\!900}{28,\!600} \approx 0.171 \] 4. Multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage: \[ 0.171 \times 100 \approx 17.1\% \] Thus, Trevor's total employee benefits are approximately \(17.1\%\) of his gross pay.
