I think the answer needs to be in hours. This is worded so badly that it just frustrates me :(

Your realized income from your primary job is $2,034.24/month. Your fixed expenses are 30% of your primary job’s realized income. You have a 2nd job that pays $9.50/hr with deductions of FICA (7.65%), federal tax withholding (11.5%), and state tax withholding (7.75%). If you want to save enough in the next 10 months to have an emergency fund that will cover 5 months using only 20% of your discretionary monies from your primary job, how many hours per month do you need to work at your 2nd job to meet your monthly savings goals?

Monthly income from my primary job: $2034.24

Fixed expenses per month: 30% of monthly income from primary job = 30% x $2034.24 = $610.27

Remaining income: $1423.97

Hourly income from secondary job: $9.5

Deductions are:

FICA - 7.65% of hourly income = 7.65% x $9.5 = $0.72675

Federal tax withholding = 11.5% x $9.5 = $0.10925

State tax withholding = 7.75% x $9.5 = $0.73625

Thus, the remaining income in hand would be $7.8445/hr

The amount he can earn in next 5 months: ($2034.24 x 5) + ($9.5 x 30 x 5) = $10171.2 + $1425 = 11592.2

=> $11592.2 is the amount he needs to save in next 10 months.

20% of primary income needs to be saved: 20% x $1423.97 = $284.794

In 10 months: $284.794 x 10 = $2847.94 (this is amount he will save from primary income)

Reamining amount to save: $11592.2 - $2847.94 = $8748.26 (this is the amount he'll save from secondary job)

$9.5 x 920 = $8740 (approx $8748.26)

Thus, it will have to work 920 hours to save that much.

answer: 5100 just subtract
