Answer :

GinnyAnswer
Absolutely! Let's analyze Hope's deductions and determine which ones will definitely change as a result of her working 60 hours instead of 40:

1. Federal Tax: Federal taxes are typically calculated as a percentage of an employee's gross wages. Since Hope's gross wages will increase due to the additional hours, her Federal Tax deduction will definitely change.

2. Health Insurance: Health insurance premiums are generally a fixed amount, regardless of the number of hours worked. Therefore, her Health Insurance deduction will not change.

3. Retirement: Retirement contributions are usually calculated as a percentage of an employee's gross wages. Since Hope's gross wages will increase, her Retirement deduction will definitely change.

4. Dental Insurance: Dental insurance premiums are typically a fixed amount, similar to health insurance. Therefore, her Dental Insurance deduction will not change.

To summarize, the deductions that will definitely change as a result of Hope working 60 hours instead of 40 are:

- Federal Tax
- Retirement

Her Health Insurance and Dental Insurance deductions will remain the same.
