Yes! To do your home work? Ok :-)

Use this code bellow solely as a guide.

puts "How many hours did you work?"
hours = gets.chomp().to_i
puts "What is your tax rate?"
taxrate = gets.chomp().to_i
tax = (100 - taxrate)
netpay = ((hours * 12.00) *  tax)
printf "Your netpay is, US$ %.2f", netpay

Aside the code errors, I think your calcs are wrong.

Wouldn't it be something like...

netpay = ((hours * 12.00) *  tax) / 100 # with this 100 dividing it.
