To determine Gaia's net pay each month given her gross pay and the listed deductions, we can follow these steps:

1. Identify Gaia's gross pay per month:

Gaia's gross pay per month is [tex]\( \$2,895 \)[/tex].

2. List the individual deductions:

- Federal Income Tax: [tex]\( \$324 \)[/tex]
- State Income Tax: [tex]\( \$96 \)[/tex]
- Social Security: [tex]\( \$126 \)[/tex]
- Medicare: [tex]\( \$39 \)[/tex]

3. Calculate the total deductions:

To find the total deductions, we add all the individual deduction amounts together:
[tex]\[ 324 + 96 + 126 + 39 = 585 \][/tex]
So, the total deductions amount to [tex]\( \$585 \)[/tex].

4. Determine Gaia's net pay:

Next, we subtract the total deductions from Gaia's gross pay:
[tex]\[ 2895 - 585 = 2310 \][/tex]
Therefore, Gaia's net pay each month is [tex]\( \$2,310 \)[/tex].

From the given options, the correct answer is [tex]\( \$2,310 \)[/tex].
