The amount of bonus that the employee receives is $714.

An equation is an expression which shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the total amount of money.

After deducting 30% for taxes, the employee nets $500. This can be represented by the equation:

x - 30% of x = 500

x - 0.3x = 500

0.7x = 500

x = $714

Therefore the amount of bonus that the employee receives is $714.
