Steve makes 40000$ a year as a teacher. He loses 20 percent to taxes, 10 percent to healthcare, and 800$ to local union dues. How much money does Steve take home? Let's think first. Chain of thought:
Taxes:40000(.20) = 8000$. Healthcare:40000(.10) = 4000$. Dues:800$. Total:40000 - 8000 - 4000 - 800 = 27,200$.
Therefore, the answer is 27200.
