Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request in English. Please answer in English.

### Instruction:
Ten percent of Jonessa's pay goes to paying tax. If her pay is $500, how much is her take-home pay?

### Response:
Ten percent of $500 is $500 x 10/100= $<<500*10/100=50>>50.
Hence, Jonessa's take-home pay is $500 - $50 = $<<500-50=450>>450
#### 450
