Formula used:

Transform any situation into mathematical algebraic expression and then evaluate according to the situation.

Calculation:

It is provided that Emilio works 14 hours a week and earns $\$11$ per hour. From each paycheck $\$32$ is withhold for taxes.

Since, he works for 14 hours a week. Amount received at the end of the week is,
