    His net pay is $328.16.

    The first step is to calculate Jerome's salary.

    Regular time - 40 x $7.80 = $312

    Overtime - 5 x $7.80 x 1.5 = $58.50

    Total Salary = $312 + 58.50 = $370.50

    The next step is to calculate the deductions:

    Social security = 370.50 x. 062 = $22.97

    Medicare = 370.50 x. 0145 = $5.37

    Federal Income Tax = $14

    Total Deductions = 22.97 + 5.37 + 14 = $42.34

    $370.50 - $42.34 = $328.16
